Mercy // Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Celebrate Recovery
Dear Stillmeadow family,
“Forgiveness is the way of Jesus.” That line from Pastor Tabitha’s message yesterday is ringing through my head today. Mercy is his method.
But how do we live this out? Check out Emotionally Healthy Spirituality or Celebrate Recovery
In the complicated relationships that we find ourselves in, the best way forward is the way Jesus has gone and is leading us. But living this way requires intentionality and takes practice! That’s why we offer Emotionally Healthy Spirituality every season, which helps participants develop grace-based relational habits. And Celebrate Recovery is a place which guides people through their hurts, habits and hangups.
If you want to do the hard and holy work of dealing with and receiving healing for the wounds you’ve received, plus the holy and hard work of developing Christ-like habits that are based on God’s mercy and not your hurt, please check out Emotionally Healthy Spirituality (starting September 27 at our main campus) or Celebrate Recovery (every Wednesday night at our City Campus).
I’m grateful for, cheering for and praying for you!
Grace and Peace,
Josh

Family Fall Fest @ YCC: October 31
We love our neighbors, so we’re throwing a Family Fall Fest at our York City Campus on October 31. This family friendly event will take place from 6-8PM. Save the date now and watch for ways to invite and serve!
Grow
A relationship with Jesus brings us into relationship with other believers. Our relationship with Jesus grows as we grow in relationship with others. Discipleship Groups are intended as places to cultivate growth in Christ together. Please don’t try to grow alone. Join a group this fall.
