How to Help a Hurting Friend: Community Wide Event

Join us in person to learn simple, caring ways to show up for a friend who’s hurting. How to Help a Hurting Friend: Community Wide Event Join us in person for a community-wide event about how to help a friend who’s hurting. When someone we care about is grieving, overwhelmed, or walking through a difficult season, we often wonder what to say or do. We want to help, but we may be afraid of getting it wrong. “You don’t need to have all the answers to draw near.” Join us for a two-day gathering devoted to learning how to care for hurting people with the compassion of Christ, the power of prayer, and practical wisdom. Our guest speaker, Dr. Rod Wilson, is a pastor, psychologist, and former president of Regent College in Vancouver. Through teaching, Q&A, worship, prayer, and meaningful conversation, Rod will help us consider how to listen well, respond thoughtfully, and walk alongside friends and neighbors in pain. “What might change in our community if more of us knew how to show up when it matters most?” Scripture calls us to this kind of care in Galations 6:2 "Bear (endure, carry) one another’s burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it]." Whether you’re a pastor, leader, educator, parent, or simply someone who wants to love others well, you are welcome. Come with your questions. Leave with encouragement, helpful tools, and a deeper sense that none of us is meant to carry hardship alone. Registration is $25 and includes a copy of Dr. Wilson’s book, a boxed lunch on Saturday, and refreshments throughout the event.
