re:generation

Sundays | 10:30 AM | rooms 317-319

re:generation helps us become more like Jesus through the vehicle of a 12-Step program. Key differences between re:generation and other recovery ministries include: daily lessons, emphasis on spiritual disciplines, integration with the church, and no separation based on struggle. This is deeper than 12 steps: it is learning biblical ways to grow and overcome destructive thoughts and habits.

Book cost: Free!

After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone. Often, friends and family want to help you, but don't know how. That's the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we've been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.
