Expressions
The Expressions support group is similar to other small groups at First Free. It is a place where people “do life” together: supporting and encouraging each other, praying for each other, serving, and seeking Biblical wisdom together. However, membership in the group is dedicated to people dealing with chronic illnesses ranging from ongoing physical disease to mental illness, such as chronic depression or anxiety. Using art is one way we foster talking about difficult things and often generates delightful observations and discussions. All art materials are provided, and there is no cost to attend. For more information, see the Expressions event page. If you are interested in joining, please talk to one of the Faith Community Nurses. We meet Sundays, twice a month, from 2:30–4:30 p.m. at the Church in Room 103.
