PAGE 7 2-week Calendar
This group offers a sanctuary where women can be heard and experience hope, healing, and restoration. Many victims of sexual abuse keep the secrets, shame and guilt hidden. Safe Place offers women an opportunity to share as much or as little as they'd like, while realizing they are not alone. It is our hope that each participant be able to experience unconditional love and acceptance and the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
