#MeToo Gathering for Support and Healing
Tuesday, October 30 at 7:00 p.m. in the Living Room
One in six women will experience sexual violence in their lives. In this past year, the #MeToo movement empowered many women and men
to share their stories of sexual abuse and harassment. It has also brought many feelings of anger, shame,
and hurt to the surface. As we find the courage to tell our stories, it’s important for the church to be a place where healing can take place. All
are welcome to join Pastor Kyle and others to hear our stories, support one another in strength, and find hope in our faith —
“for such a time as this.” Call the church office at (630)668-5147 or
email her.
