Darrow-Owens with Joy Mast | Holy Comforter Charlotte

Monday, October 21, 2024, 6:00 PM

“Joy Mast, Being the Best You Can Be”

Following a 7-year battle with disordered binge eating, Joy developed a program to help others deal with compulsively destructive behaviors.

In 2012, Joy created the Releasity course and the accompanying book, Set Free and Satisfied. Her plan uses prayer and scripture to work through the bad habits that weigh us down.

Many of us have “overindulgences” of some sort that indicate that something is lacking in our lives. Joy’s program teaches how to live a full life through a closer communion with God.

Joy, appropriated named, has an endearing grace-filled spirit. Treat yourself to a copy of her book and enjoy the evening with friends, a potluck meal, and inspiration!

Monday, October 21, 6:00 – 8:00pm, Henry Hall

Potluck Supper begins at 6:30; program is 7:00-8:00.

All are welcome; guests and newcomers are expected.

Reservations are tremendously appreciated.

When we give to God, our gift has an exponential factor on the world we live in. The exponential power of the group makes it easier to do Gods work. In Christ, power is infinite. Not limited to math, or our understanding of the universe. That infinite grace, unlimited love is free to everyone. That is real power.

Capital campaigns are conducted every few years to fund major and long-term expenses and capital investments in the church. Our most recent capital campaign, Making Room for the Spirit, was completed in 2018 and successfully raised over $1.2 million to renovate the Atkinson building, reduce debt, purchase the property next door at 2729 Park Road, and conduct strategic site planning for the future.
