Tuesdays, September 12-December 12, 7-8:30pm, Main Campus, Parent/Child Room. If you've lost a loved one, you've probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

You'll gain access to valuable resources to help you heal from the loss and look forward to rebuilding your life. REGISTER

Thursdays, September 14-November 2, 2017, 7-8:30pm, Main Campus, Sandberg Chapel. We've all been hurt by others. There's no end to disappointments and challenges because we live in a fallen, sinful world. The bad news is that this often leads to unhealthy methods of coping. The good news is that God can move us away from those unhealthy places with healing and growth. Using Jesus' Beatitudes as a foundation, Pastors Rick Warren and John Baker developed a series of eight choices that can help result in life transformation. This Care Group introduces you to these choices as we work together to move ahead, away from poor coping methods. Come move toward God's pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, joy and healing. Find answers, hope and a real future—one healing choice at a time. REGISTER

First and third Thursdays monthly, October-May, 7-8:30pm, Main Campus, Fellowship Room. If you or someone you love has a mental illness, Refuge Care Group is for you. Mental illness is an invisible malady without physical signs to signal its presence. It powerfully affects our relationships, work, play and future.  The stigmas associated with related conditions can even make church feel unsafe. As we share our experience, we learn we are not alone. REGISTER

Tuesdays, September 19-November 14, 2017, 1-2:30pm, Main Campus, Gathering Place. The purpose of this Care Group is to help widows navigate the murky waters of widowhood. No one can comfort a widow like another widow (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). We can help one another through struggles, vulnerabilities, changing relationships and other changes that occur when you lose your spouse. This Care Group offers a place of belonging—a safe place to journey through the stages of grief and loss. COST: $12. REGISTER
