Support Group For Adult Children Of Alcoholics
Support and fellowship group starting soon at Northside Baptist Church in Ruskin.
Healing is possible for adult children of alcoholic parents and dysfunctional families based on the ACA Handbook. This meeting book contains the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, sponsorship, Inner Child and re-parenting. Meeting discussions offer hope for recovery from the effects of growing up in a dysfunctional family, where alcohol or drugs may or may not have been present. While ACA is similar to other Twelve Step programs, our emphasis is on the family system and Inner Child or True Self. You can learn how unhealthy child situations may be unknowingly sabotaging your decisions and relationships today.
Support group will be meeting once per week, all are welcome. Please contact Michael O. for more information at 690-2049 or gbdogg02@gmail.com.
Taize Prayer Service Hosted By Saint Anne Catholic Church
As part of its Lenten devotions, Saint Anne Parish hosted a Taizé Prayer Service on February 27. It was an evening filled with reverence, reflection, and adoration. The highlight of the altar was the most beautiful display of the exposed Blessed Sacrament with a light that shined on it, which portrayed a ray of sunshine in the darkness.
Worshipers sat in the pews as Fr. John McEvoy led them in slow, quiet, meditative prayer. In between each prayer was a time of silence for reflection followed by hymns that were sung by the Adult Choir led by Wayne Warren.
Taizé Prayer was founded in France in the 1940s by a Swiss man known as Brother Roger in a monastic community devoted to prayer and reconciliation. A Taizé worship service involves song and chanted prayers, meditation, and a period of silence.
Saint Anne Catholic Church is located at U.S. Hwy. 41 and 11th Avenue N.E. in Ruskin. Visit SaintAnneRuskin.org.
Fifteen Powerful Ways To Put Money Away
Have you ever had an unexpected car repair, home repair or medical emergency that rocked you with a $500, $700 or $900 bill you had not planned on? Would you like to have a Freedom Account of at least $1,000 (or more) to cushion the unexpected financial blows that life brings? Maybe you are saying: “Sounds like a great idea but I can hardly make ends meet now. How am I going to come up with an extra $1,000 for emergencies?” That’s exactly what this course is designed for. It will provide: 15 small, but powerful ideas (called Freedom Weapons) that have helped people firmly establish a Freedom Account as a way of life for them and their family. You can choose one, two, or all 15 to propel you on your way; three ways to not only save money, but capture the savings into your Freedom Account; several ideas on how to stay motivated and make the savings habit a life-long practice. Most financial advisors call this concept of an emergency account the most important first step towards financial freedom. Are you ready?
