“New Light New Day Give Love God’s Way”
(Formerly “A Resting Place”)
We are a group of individuals, who work together to hold space for those in need. When we hold space, it means that we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them or trying to impact the outcome. When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support and let go of judgement and control.
