Friendship Ministry

 

The St. Joseph Friendship Ministry is the place for any teen/adult with a cognitive impairment to find a place of belonging in our church. It is a place where friends and mentors grow together in relationship to Jesus Christ, one another, and the Church. It is a place for faith, friendship and fun.

The St. Joseph Friendship Ministry meets upstairs in the Community Center the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  To date we have 7 friends and 6 mentors attending these get-togethers.  Ages range from age 13 to age 83 and together we are educating each other through song, faith lessons, crafts, prayer, conversation and snacks.

All parish members and/or folks outside the parish are invited to join our group and participate in this social/educational experience. If you know of someone who might be interested or for more information, contact Diana Englund at   899-6194. 

 

            Overcomers Group

 

                 Overcomers Outreach is a fellowship of men and women who have been
                 affected either directly or indirectly by the abuse of any mood-altering
                 chemical or compulsive behavior.  We welcome anyone who has a desire to

                 stay clean and sober, who has a desire to rise above the pain and turmoil caused 

                 by an addiction.  We are here to share our experience, strength, and hope with 

                 one another. There is only one authority in our group - JESUS CHRIST – as

                 He expresses his love among us.  We claim GOD's promise that his power can

                 set us FREE!  Overcomers Group bridges the gap between traditional 12 - step

                 groups and the church.  Our group meets on the second floor of the St. Joseph

                 Bread of Life Church Community Center  on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 p.m.

                 to 8:00 p. m.  For information, call Lynn at 866-1122.
