Money Makeover.
Come experience a total
money makeover through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace
University. You'll learn how to get out and stay out of
debt, what everybody should know about investments but is
never taught, and how to control your money for your joy
and peace rather than your money controlling you.
One couple from the last
class said that they used to fight about money all the time
but that they had not fought once since they got into this
class. They are truly experiencing "financial peace." Come
experience your own Financial Peace with us. Contact
Keith
Jackson.
Digital Photography Group |
2008 Schedule
This group was created for photographers within Rock Creek
to share and learn more about their equipment and
photography opportunities. We will meet the second Thursday
of each month. There will be an open projector at each
meeting so photographers can share and discuss their
favorite photos. We plan to have guest speakers and special
events all focused on photography. Most of the discussions
will be around digital SLR cameras.
If you have questions or are interested in attending view
the
meeting schedule

Marty Allen.
Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking will meet again this summer!
It's a great way to
get into the hobby of scrapbooking and get together with old
friends and make new ones.
K-9 Ambassadors
This
group will assist you in training your dog to
become a therapy dog. Therapy dogs visit nursing homes,
hospitals, and retirement centers to bring enjoyment to
people's lives. The classes are taught by a certified dog
trainer. For more information, contact
Keith
Jackson.
SUPPORT GROUPS
Support Groups provide a place of comfort, healing, and hope
for those experiencing life’s tragic interruptions. We want
to help you successfully walk through this time with God’s
help so that perhaps someday you may offer your hand to
another.
“What a wonderful Father we have — He is the Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the
One who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our
hardships and trials. And why does He do this? So that
when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and
encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and
comfort God has given us."
2 Corinthians 1:3-4(Living Bible)

Divorce is an experience that leaves you
feeling broken. Every area of your life is affected. You have feelings
you don't understand. You are separated from people you love. Your
finances may be shattered. You don't know who you are anymore. Even
though God hates divorce, it is important to remember that nothing can
separate you from His love. Rebuilding Life is a divorce recovery group
that focuses on the grace of God putting your life back together again
and leading you toward wholeness.
Celebrate Recovery
Celebrate Recovery is a
Christ centered recovery program that helps those with hurts, habits,
and hang-ups to step out of denial and into God’s grace. Through this
program, broken people with all kinds of co-dependencies have been
transformed by the power of Christ. They have discovered hope and change
they thought was beyond their reach. The group meets every Tuesday,
including holidays, at 6pm.
Empty Arms Support Group
A
child who loses their parents is called an orphan. A
person who loses their spouse is called widowed. But
there is no word for a parent who loses a child… this is
how terrible the loss is. Empty Arms offers care and
comfort for parents and families dealing with the loss
of a child due to still birth. This ministry will help
you cope with the pain and re-establish your joy. This
group is led by Chad and Nancy Harvison who lost their
daughter, Hannah Grace, through stillbirth at 23 weeks.
Through that experience of pain and loss, God has shown
them that parents and family members need the
reassurances of God to help cope and eventually begin
the healing process. Chad and Nancy have since been
blessed with a son, Joshua Taylor. For
information on future meetings of Empty Arms, contact
Chad and Nancy
Harvison or call
Keith
Jackson
at 225-8684.
Military Support
Group
Many
of us have friends, colleagues or family members in
military service who are serving overseas, meeting the
call of the nation. Our eternal gratitude, thoughts and
prayers are with them, and with all the men and women of
our armed forces. We pray for their speedy and safe
return home. If you are interested in participating in a
Military Support Group, please email
westevensma@hotmail.com.

Group)

women how to be set free from the symptoms of Post-Abortion
Syndrome. We have adopted it as our new format for our
post-abortion support group for women. Groups meet in the
Rock Creek Care Center for six Saturdays. If you are dealing
with fear, anger, guilt, and sadness over an abortion, we
