Small Groups Pastor Carol Peters Phone: 480-948-1234, extension 1105 Contact Pastor Peters La Casa de Cristo offers many small groups for study and fellowship:
With a Little Help from My Friends…. Sometimes we all could use a little help to get by! Maybe that is true for you. Or maybe for someone you know. La Casa offers four different groups shown below to offer the support of friends going through difficult times. And participants do not need to be members of La Casa to participate! DivorceCare is for men and women who are separated or divorced and ready to deal with the pain of the past and who look forward to rebuilding one's life. DivorceCare meets every Fall. Grief Support Group Meetings If you are struggling through the loss of a loved one, you do not have to suffer alone. Each month, you are welcome to join a drop-in grief support session on Tuesdays at 10:00am to 11:30am and 6:00pm to 7:30pm. They meet for ten weeks from March 4 to April 22. Sign up for the Grief Support Group by calling the church office at 480-948-1234. There is an ongoing Grief Support Group that meets the third Tuesday of each month at the same time. Support Group for Bereaved Parents - M.I.S.S. Foundation provides Christian support for parents who have experienced a loss through miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant or young child. Meets fourth Wednesday of the month during January - May and September - November. There is no need to sign up, just come.

The group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month.			Celebrate Recovery! "Celebrate Recovery!®" is a national program that is similar to a 12 Step Program but is based on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. By focusing on God's healing power, participants grow spiritually and find new freedom while strengthening relationships with God, family, and friends.
DivorceCare Divorced? Separated? DivorceCare is for you. This is a Bible-based program used by churches across the United States that enables participants to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to re-building their lives. DivorceCare meets every Fall.			Grief Support Group Grief Support Groups start March 4th and meet for ten weeks covering coping skills and to where you are in the grieving process. The later meetings discuss more about moving forward and building a strong foundation in your life (Christ, Bible study, family, friends, and helping others), which occur in tiny baby steps at your own pace.
Covenant Groups Covenant Groups are small groups of church members that meet throughout the year at their own schedule and share God's Word.
