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.

Starts: April 22, 2021
Co-led: Michael Young
Meetings are on Thursdays [weekly]
Time: 7pm In-person @Journey's Crossing, and ONLINE video meeting [hybrid meeting]
We will use Ring Central and begin "in-person" meetings @Journey's Crossing starting 4/22.

Day: Saturday, 11:30am VIRTUAL MEETUP
[Attend virtually via call or video chat]
Start date June 19th
Saturdays 11:30 for 8 weeks
Get your book: The Gospel in Hard Times
at Joni & Friends (joniandfriends.org)
Videos are also available at that web page
Please call Jenny at 240-483-9404 for more information.

Anybody feel like these are hard times?
The Gospel in Hard Times is a small-group study that explores how a loving faith community—one body with many parts—can not only meet our needs, but also help us walk alongside others who are afflicted, disabled, and marginalized.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THIS GRIEF SHARE GROUP. PLEASE SIGN UP!
We are gathering interest for this group and plan to begin this SUMMER [June-August]. Please indicate your interest in joining the group. I'd love to share the healing journey together with you.
Facilitator: Barbara Wilkinson
Email: Barb@JourneysCrossing.org
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.

Hike Locations vary

This is a Women's Book Study:
"We all want other people to like us and think well of us. But when we depend on the praise, admiration, or appreciation of others for our sense of self-worth, we become trapped in an exhausting and debilitating cycle of people-pleasing relationships where we always give and rarely receive. The most common advice we hear--Start putting your own needs first!-- doesn't work, because we do love helping other people!

Thankfully, the solution to the people pleaser's "problem" isn't to fundamentally change who you are--it's to fundamentally change where you find your worth. In this freeing book, Dr. Mike Bechtle shows you stop letting your fears of rejection, criticism, invisibility, or inadequacy drive your actions and start rebuilding your sense of self-worth from the inside out. When you do, you'll discover that what you once thought of as a struggle is actually a strength."

Our group will read and discuss the book "The people pleasers guide to loving others without losing yourself" by Mike Bechtle. Our hope is that this book will be a tool you can use to embark on a journey of self development and becoming all God created you to be. We'd love for you to join us as we seek to become all God created us to be.

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!!

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.

Join a small group where you will make friends, follow Jesus together, and make a difference in the world.

We meet on the Facebook Messenger Video chat to pray.

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.

Meets: Every other Saturday [biweekly].
Starts: January 16th
Time: 9 am - stretching, 9:30am - Prayer

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!
