LIFEGIVERS - Friends for Life
Enriching lives of those with Life-Threatening Ilnesses and
their caregivers.
Sowing Hope...Nurturing Life
Purpose:
To provide people diagnosed with a life-threatening ilness, and those who care for them, with the opportunity to know and experience life at its fullest.
Unlike traditional support groups, LifeGivers is life-focused, not diagnoses-focused.
When:
2nd and 4th Monday each month:
Youth @ 6 pm
Adults @ 7 pm
Where:
All-Purpose Building at Jacksonville Chapel
Jesus said...John 10:10 “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
Youth: We are encouraging young folks who have been dealing with illness and how it changes your life. We have extended our group to include young people whose loved one has already passed away.
I know that you and your family may be on this road, and we would like to help you as you continue.
We invite you to attend our next meeting (about an hour long) on the 2nd or 4th meeting of the month, in the Ministry Center South (All Purpose Building). We are challenging each other to focus on life and we welcome you to meet with us and see what we're all about.
You can come and talk if you like; or you can come and just listen. There will be others who are on this=2 0same road; some of them will be about the same age as you.
Adults: From diagnosis to a vision for living, we invite you to learn how to deal with such issues as trust, hope, fear.
Our outreach is to provide resources and methods to educate and empower patients and caregivers.
Knowing that patients and caregivers may be reluctant to join a group of strangers, LifeGivers are also trained and available to reach out on a one-to-one basis.
