Samaritan Group: Support for Those Caring for Loved Ones with Mental Illness
We are pleased to let you know about a new ministry providing support for individuals and families of loved ones living with mental illness. The Samaritan Group will meet monthly at Greentree from 6:30 – 8 PM on the 2nd Monday of the month to share a focused devotional, an educational segment, and a prayer time for families and friends of those caring for someone with a mental illness. Our first meeting will be March 13, 2023. The group will be facilitated by a team including a professional counselor, our Care Pastor Eric Van Zee, and a trained lay leader. If you have questions, please contact Andrea Hendrix.
Divorce Care
Divorce is one of the most painful experiences you can face. So many emotions. So many challenges. You don’t have to go through it alone. DivorceCare offers support, answers, and practical tools to help you manage the many stresses of separation and divorce and find healing.
Please contact Christi Moses to join the group. Fall dates TBA.
Finance & Budget
Financial Coaches are available to meet one-on-one with you to confidentially assist you with a financial crisis or help you develop a personal spending plan, reduce debt and prioritize financial goals.
