Widowed? Do you dread the lonely days and nights? Wonder what to do with your spouse's belongings? Feel like your brain is in a fog? Unsure of how you will go on? As you know, the death of a spouse brings a unique kind of pain. People who are widowed haven't just lost a loved one -they have lost an entire lifestyle. Help is here and hope is possible. At this seminar, you will discover: other people understand and have found ways to make it through, why it won't always hurt so much, reasons for hope, and other practical tips for coping with the death of a spouse. We hope you will join us on your grief journey.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Thursdays, February 12 - March 12, 2026 | 7– 8:30pm | Free | Counseling Center

We are all busy. Some of us can't remember the last time we rested or even had free time. Our busyness can feel productive but it is a toxic distraction, sapping our spiritual, physical, and emotional vitality. It may seem like we have no choice but to live at a frantic pace, but God has a better path for us. 

This is a 5 week video series by pastor and author John Mark Comer wherein he tackles one of the defining problems of modern life: chronic busyness and the spiritual, emotional, and relational damage it causes. The author argues that hurry is not just a scheduling issue—it’s a deep spiritual threat that keeps people from living meaningful, grounded, and connected lives.

Nothing to Prove

Sundays, March 15 - May 10, 2026 | 10:30am – 12pm | Workbook: $15 | Counseling Center 

Too many of us walk through life feeling like we don't measure up. We always seem to thirst for more and we think if we could only work harder or be better, we could be enough. Truth is...we will never be enough and thankfully we don't have to be. Scripture demonstrates how Jesus is enough. We don't have to prove anything because Jesus has proven everything. Discover how our thirsty hearts can only be quenched by the living water. 

This group will meet for 90 minutes over 8 weeks. We will watch a video, utilize a workbook and have group discussion about the material and how we can grow and embrace these truths. The workbook and videos are produced by Jennie Allen, author, speaker, and founder of IF: Gathering.

As coordinator for the Breakthrough Support Group Ministry, Genevieve LoCicero and her team have facilitated a variety of groups. She has a heart to reach people that are hurting in all different areas. Her willingness to offer help and hope gently yet persistently through Breakthrough speaks well of her heart for the troubles of others. Breakthrough services are guided by Romans 12:1-2 which exhorts us to renew our minds. By doing so, we are able to live in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. Renewing our mind impacts emotions which in turn impacts behaviors and results in a life changed.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.  
Romans 12:1-2
