Chessed (Loving kindness)
Our mission is to enhance and nurture the spirit of community within our growing congregation by addressing the emotional and/or special needs of all our congregants throughout their individual life cycle events. Every member is a Chessed Haver and may be called upon to help celebrate, support and/or comfort others in need within our congregation.
Support Network
Our Congregation is creating informal networks for people to lend support, an ear or meet up for a coffee, starting with the topics of bereavement, cancer and raising kids with special needs.
