DivorceCare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences. Don't go through separation or divorce alone.

Divorce can be hard and painful. But it's a lot easier when you go through it with others and know that God has your back each step of the way. That's what we do in this group, using a program of study that has proven effective in helping people navigate separation and divorce. Men and women are invited.

Forgiving What You Can't Forget
A 10-week Small Group Study
Starting Thursday, January 21, 2021

"Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive."
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

How many times have you said to yourself, "Why should I have to be the one who forgives when I'm the one who has already suffered the most?"

We know God commands us to forgive. But how can we do it when the hurt plays over and over in our mind? And why do we need to do it when we have already suffered so much? And, are there exceptions, such as when the other person keeps inflicting pain?

Lysa TerKeurst, author of Forgiving What You Can't Forget, has walked this journey, carrying so many wounds that she felt were unforgivable. But Lysa discovered that Scripture not only offers the truth about forgiveness that our souls so desperately need, but also offers practical ways for us to let go of resentment and finally heal.

In Forgiving What You Can't Forget, with deep empathy and therapeutic insight, Lysa helps us:
• Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out.
• Disempower the triggers that hijack our emotions.
• Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to change and never says "I'm sorry."
• Identify what is stealing our trust so that we can believe there is still good ahead.

You are invited to join us on this 10-week journey towards wholeness and health, starting Thursday, January 21, 2021. All sessions are from 7-8:30 on Zoom.

Please email questions.

How GriefShare works?
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you've lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you've probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you've never faced before.

"Going to GriefShare feels like having warm arms wrapped around you when you're shivering."

GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:

Video seminar with experts.
Each week your GriefShare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments, and on-location video.

Support group discussion with focus.
After viewing the video, you and the other group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week's video seminar and what is going on in your lives.

Personal study and reflection.
During the week you will have the opportunity to use your workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out your emotions through journaling. Your group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study.

Who should come … who should not?
GriefShare is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. We understand that there are other losses in life that create feelings of grief. You might be experiencing a job loss, a divorce, estrangement from a child, or the loss of friends because of a move. This grief is real, but it is not the kind of grief discussed in GriefShare sessions. We encourage you to ask a pastor, counselor, or church leader for help in finding resources that will be of specific help in your situation. If you are going through separation or divorce, please consider participating in a DivorceCare program.

When to join a GriefShare group?
You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is "self-contained," so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next 13-week cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.

Want to find some encouragement for your marriage? Join our virtual Marriage Small Group.
Starting: January, 2021
Time: 7:30pm [after kids bedtime]
We will use Right Now Media to guide our learning & conversations.
Leaders: Greg & Sharon (the Tuckers)
Email: greg.tucker@mac.com, or sharontucker99@outlook.com
We would like to lead/facilitate conversation, and please know that we are by no means experts--like at all--but we are willing to start and switch meeting facilitation among couples from week to week.
Our virtual small group will meet on Wednesday evenings.

We have studied:
Les and Leslie Parrot's work, "Love Talk".

We feel like these times, especially those of us married, with school-aged children, could really use a weekly course like this.
You will be given access to the church membership to RightNowMedia (a massive cloud library of resources).

Group members will be asked to watch the online marriage/relationship content videos once a week prior to our virtual meeting.

SNEAK PEAK:
Things we've done:
Building a Better Marriage, with Earl & Oneka McClellan --also available via RightNowMedia.

Les and Leslie Parrot's Love Talk, a series on building stronger communication in our marriages.

In marriage, we can all use an hour a week to intentionally focus on God's purpose and plans for our marriage, especially now, in the midst of a global pandemic? We hope you will join us!!

Here is the Zoom Information (will also send out a reminder on Wednesday):

CURRENT STUDY: His Needs, Her Needs by Bill & Joyce Harley, Baker Books
For over twenty-five years, His Needs, Her Needs has been transforming marriages all over the world. Now this life-changing book is the basis for an interactive six-week study designed for use in couples' small groups or retreats, pre-marital counseling sessions, or by individual couples. Willard F. Harley, Jr. and his wife, Joyce, explain the important concept of the Love Bank, and teach them to meet each other's emotional needs for affection, sex, intimate conversation, companionship, family commitment, physical attractiveness, honesty and openness, and admiration. As couples walk through the study together they will remember why they fell in love in the first place, renew their commitment to their marriage, and rediscover their passion.

Prayer, Meditation, and Gentle Stretch in 5 Dimensions

Maybe the word meditation conjures up a boring yoga class and not a biblical practice. But according to Unlockingthebible.com the word meditation occurs in the bible no less than 23 times, 19 times in the Book of Psalms alone.

In biblical meditation the purpose is not solely relaxation. It is to get closer to God. In this short class we will incorporate prayer, meditation, and gentle stretching to bring further awareness of God's presence. Using the five dimensions as reminders; we will look: Back to the cross, up to God, into ourselves, out to others, and, forward to our dash- the year between our birth and death. We begin at 9 am and end by 9:30. At 9:30 we will begin community prayer. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Participate in a 4-week experience to help you find your next steps here at Journey's Crossing.

If you are new at Journey's Crossing or you'd like more information, connection, or you are are interested in membership at JC, please attend our NEXT interactive experience offered on Sundays at 11:30am in Room 105.

Step 1: Connect (1st weekend of every month),
Step 2: Community (2nd weekend of every month)
Step 3: Change Makers (3rd weekend of every month)
Step 4: Compassion (4th weekend of every month)

Most people like to start with Step 1, but you are welcome to start at any point. Know that there is no NEXT experience on the 5th weekend for any month that has a 5th weekend. NEXT meets in the Conference Room 105, located down the hallway to the left when you enter the building.

Sign up at this link: https://journeyscrossing.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/406/responses/new

Please note:

1. Attendance: NEXT has been designed in a way that it makes it easy for you to complete all 4 steps. If you find you are unable to attend class during your regular time you may come back the following month for the class you missed.

2. Regarding children 5th grade and under: The Next experience is an environment for adults and teens only. Please use our children's programs for a fun and educational experience geared specifically for them as well as our Nursery. This will help preserve the adult content of some of our table discussions.

3. Dogs/pets. To respect people with pet allergies and eliminate distractions, no animals are permitted at Next other than your own service animal (Wearing proper identification/fully trained).

Don't anticipate a stale class, taking notes all the time. These sessions will be filled with laughs, new friends, and training on how to follow Jesus in the 21st century. We are looking forward to getting to know you!
