Divorce Care - 10 Consecutive Monday Nights Beginning September 19th from 7:00-9:00p.m.
We will be using the series “Divorce Care” which features 13 dynamic video seminars, featuring 32 renowned experts on divorce and recovering. Each class will include DVD presentations, question and answer time and topics for table discussion, which will include, but not limited to; "What’s Happening to Me?”, “Facing My Anger, Depression, Loneliness”, “Financial Survival”, “KidCare,” and “Moving On.”
We have both male and female facilitators which makes it “equal footing” for both men and woman to share, and one not to feel left out or not understood. No matter what the circumstances, divorce is a painful process for most people. We understand how deeply people and families are hurt by divorce, and we seek to provide a place where people can begin to put their lives back together again.

A friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences, grieving the death of someone you love. Grief Share meets weekly for thirteen consecutive weeks. Each Grief Share session has three distinct elements: a video seminar, featuring top experts on grief and recovery, support group discussion, and a workbook for personal study and reflection.
An on-going weekly support group to assist people on their journey of recovery from addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered twelve step recovery ministry, based on the eight recovery principles found in the Beatitudes from the book of Matthew.
Are you having a difficult time dealing with controlling areas of sin in your life? …or do you simply want to safeguard yourself from these areas of intense temptations? Can you be honest about this despite the perceived consequences to your reputation, position and relationships, in and outside the church? If so, we are resuming a group study/fellowship which can really minster to you. Beginning Tuesday, September 27 (and continuing each Tuesday, thereafter), we will be meeting to learn what God’s Word has to say about these strongholds. Our focus will include developing the “whole man”. Deuteronomy and Matthew instruct us to “love God with all our soul, mind and strength”. Many men have found tremendous freedom through living these principals. Confidentiality and anonymity will be encouraged and expected. If you have any questions, please call 708-244-7633. We look forward to seeing you.
