ANGER ALLIES

Anger is a powerful emotion. It can be denied or suppressed. It can
control someone or be properly managed. This group will teach
individuals how to correctly process their thoughts and have anger
work for them instead of against them. 

 

OVERCOMING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

Experience God’s peace and joy by conquering anxiety and depression. Adults will learn how to appropriately manage thoughts and emotions so that life’s circumstances are viewed correctly and placed in the proper perspective.

 

BREAKING FREE

Opportunities for sexual temptation permeate society and can be especially difficult for men of all ages to resist. It takes more than a little self-effort to resist sexual temptation. It takes a game plan. This group will help men
create and work out a plan to be wholesome individuals in thoughts and
actions. Workbook price is $10.00.

 

Women face their own battles in the realm of sexual purity. Women will

understand how to view themselves and their sexuality Biblically instead of succumbing to worldly standards for acceptance.

 

Ex-prisoners, families of prisoners or ex-prisoners, victims or volunteers
interested in aftercare ministry are all welcome to join this group. Network
for Life provides an alternative model of post-prison life in a positive,
non-condemning way.

 

The loss of a family member or friend can be devastating. A person
experiencing deep sorrow needs to be listened to, validated, and
encouraged. The Grief and Loss support group will help individuals cope during times of deep sadness. Workbook price is $13.00.

 

Couples with a good marriage or one that needs help, newlyweds or empty nesters, will all fit into this group. On December 29, 2009, the Marriage
Support Group will start a six-week DVD series titled Dream Marriage. This series will address communication, sexual fulfillment, financial management, chemistry of romance, parents, and the power of redemption. Participants will enjoy lively group discussions and are welcome to attend sessions with or without their spouse.

 

Separation or divorce is one of the most tragic events a person can
