Sleep in Peace

Taught by Rev. Henry Reyenga and Attorney/Pastor Brian DeCook and presented by Haley Johnson

A peaceful night often begins long before your head reaches the pillow. Sleep in Peace is a practical Christian Growth Mini-Course that brings biblical wisdom, healthy sleep practices, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit together to help participants understand their sleep patterns, quiet the nighttime mind, support the body’s natural rhythms, and develop a healthier approach to rest.

Participants will learn that sleep is something to prepare for and receive rather than force, while developing practical ways to respond to difficult nights with greater peace, wisdom, and grace.
