How to Transform Loneliness into Connection

May 8 @ 6:45 pm - 8:15 pm
The Bible teaches us to “love thy neighbor as thyself”. But if we don’t show love to ourselves, how can we show love to our neighbor(s) and feel that life-sustaining connectedness that thwarts loneliness?  This program is designed to help cultivate a warm, loving and compassionate relationship with yourself so that you can have the same with others. Hosted by the Bethlehem Mental Health & Addiction Ministry.
