Journeymen:

The Journeymen, currently men from the local Church community, are meeting to develop more meaningful and transparent relationships, to build a better biblical understanding of manhood, and to address current issues facing men today. This is to provide men an opportunity to experience fellowship, develop relationships, and seek a better understanding of what manhood means. The Journeymen sessions involve 45 min. of watching a DVD from the Men's Fraternity series (visit http://www.mensfraternity.com for info.) and 30-45 min. of small group. We currently have two opportunities for participation -- one on Sun. evenings and the other on Fri. mornings. Both series are held at Patuxent Presbyterian Church. Come join us!

Celebrate Recovery

Hurts increase during hard economic times. When the economy is struggling, people in our churches and community feel hopeless and defeated. History has proven that during times like these, the number of people turning to addictions, obsessions and compulsions greatly increases. We know the only true and lasting answer for pain and the solution for freedom is to turn to Jesus Christ. Join SouthPoint Church as we help those who are struggling with anger, codependence, over-spending, sexual issues, gambling, food, substance abuse and past or present trauma. Celebrate Recovery is a life changing 12-step Christ-centered ministry. Do you have experience in psychology, counseling, recover, 12-step fellowship, social work, group therapy or healing ministries? The SouthPoint Church Celebrate Recovery group has an opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of others. Leaders are needed who can help individuals with any kind of hurt, obsessive hang-up or damaging habit.
