Ginger Robinson facilitates this class through her personal experience of loss. After pastoring with her husband for 21 years, she found herself on the journey of grief following her husband’s death.

Pati is no stranger to grief.  Having experience the death of her 20 year old brother, both of her parents and her wonderful husband of 16 years.  Yet through it all, she has found her hope and strength is Christ and enjoys her life as a grandmother and active participant in her church.   Pati brings a wealth of compassion and insight to this group.

This class will assist people that have friends or family, or themselves, who suffer from domestic violence or abuse.  Domestic violence takes many forms: physical; emotional; economic; stalking and harassment; and sexual.  In addition, domestic abuse will be covered; it is a pattern of coercive, controlling behavior that is a pervasive life-threatening crime affecting people in all our communities regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, social standing and immigration status.

No matter what drives a woman to end a pregnancy, there are physical, psychological, and spiritual side effects most don’t anticipate. Women and men often find themselves in the prison of pain that abortion has brought into their lives and into the lives of those who love them. But there is hope. With understanding and gentleness, this group invites and guides hurting men and women to begin healing from the pain of post abortion trauma to freedom and wholeness.

This group is open to anyone who has been affected by the trauma of abortion.

This group will meet off-site at The Clayful Artist located at 4009 Keith St NW Suite 104.

Facilitator: Brenda Wynkoop

Brenda’s story is one of heartache, sorrow and silent pain that was the result of a decision she had made in her teen years. God’s grace and forgiveness turned her sorrow into joy and she found healing through the power of Christ.

She carried this pain for years, afraid of being found out, unable to speak about it and attempted to wipe it away from her memory. Brenda has gone through the healing process and discovered that “God was in my past (he never leaves me nor forsakes me) and he is in my present and he is in my future. He took my mess and make it his message of forgiveness, hope, love and restoration.”

The U-12 Men’s Fellowship is a one-hour meeting each month that combines a free lunch with a brief presentation on subjects of interest to men. The meeting is on the first Friday of each month at 12:00 noon for all men who wish to attend.  Meetings will be held in the U-Turn facility (currently leased by Westmore church) at 2412 Wolf Drive, NW, Cleveland, Tennessee.

The goal of U-12 is to be supportive of all local men’s groups by offering a once a month meeting for fellowship and networking among groups as well as unifying for various community programs.

The mission statement for U-12 is to empower men in Cleveland, Bradley County and surrounding area to lead, to connect with, and serve, their families, friends, and community.  This empowerment will result from relevant messages delivered by men for men, inspired by the Word of God for holy and abundant living.
