Abortion Recovery Class
Have you experienced the pain and regret of an abortion in your past? Do you desire God’s spiritual and emotional healing?
Each woman is different in how she carries the burden of abortion and not all women are affected in the same way. But abortion can affect a woman, physically, emotionally, and most importantly…spiritually. The shame, guilt, and remorse are often so overwhelming that it is difficult to share the pain. And it is the best kept secret among women.
You are not alone!!! Abortion recovery offers what no other place in our communities can: freedom from guilt and grief. It is a place to share with other women who have had a similar experience.
All Saints’, along with Life First, is offering a 10-week Abortion Recovery Bible study for women who desire the Lord’s healing in this area of their lives. It is scripture-based and allows God to take your hand and lead you down the path of emotional healing. Strict confidentiality is the rule and no one’s personal information is ever shared.
Dates: Monday, April 1 through June 10th. 7-9 pm.
For more information contact Suzy Speare at 703-861-5994(cell) or arc@firstcarewomen.com.
