May 2022 NCF Twin Cities Webinar: Hope in the Darkness - Growing in Intimacy
DESCRIPTION: Throughout this past year, we’ve focused on the value and importance of caring for ourselves spiritually. As Nurses Christian Fellowship honors nurses during the month of May with their theme “Hope in the Darkness,” we join with them in reminding ourselves of the hope we have in relationship – relationship with God, our relationship with our colleagues, and our relationship with the individuals and communities where we work and serve. Every aspect of our lives can draw us towards deeper intimacy. We celebrate the hope and light that can never be extinguished and its influence in our daily lives and in our profession.
