"Living with your Husband's Secret Wars"

 

When you discover your husband is involved in sexual sin--whether it's lust, pornography, infidelity, or some other

behavior--pain whips through you like a tornado.  You may wonder: 

        Will I survive this betrayal?

        Will my marriage survive--and do I even want it to?

        Where is God in all of this?

Learn how to find the support you need, grieve the losses of sexual betrayal, and focus on your own spiritual growth.

 

Please contact Emily or Bonnie for information about joining the next session.  The current group is closed to new members.

"Pieceful Threads"

We love to take large pieces of fabric, cut them into small pieces, and then sew them all back together!  If that sounds like fun to you, please plan to join us.  Bring a project of your own to wrok on or you can choose to help with one of our service projects.  No quilting/sewing experience necessary; we'll teach you as we go along.  Don't want to sew, but would like to come for the fellowship?  No problem; we have things you can do that don't involve sewing, such as sorting and ironing.  Please bring a dish to share for lunch.  Join us on the third Saturday of each month in the Lift at Church on the Rock.

"Reel to Real"

What is Reel to Real?  It's movie watching at its finest!  Comfy seating, yummy goodies, time to talk, and all at NO CHARGE!  Join us for a variety of "must-see" films.  Invite a girlfriend and spend an evening with no child interruptions, no food on the stove, and no laundry to fold.  You'll laugh, and you may cry.  Most of all, you'll learn more about yourself and your friends.  Each movie is chosen for its artistic quality and enduring message.  Older classics will be alternated with newer flicks for plenty of variety. Join us on the second Friday of each month.  Location and time details can be found on the calendar.
