Peace Groups

Abortion Recovery Support

The Peace Group is a caring and confidential support group that offers understanding and healing to women who are experiencing the painful effects of a past abortion
 
 
Our mission is to assist women in their personal journey towards healing from the emotion and spiritual trauma of abortion, by providing caring support, education, and guidance ultimately resulting in restoration or promotion of their relationship with our heavenly Father.

Health care professionals have identified the emotional trauma that many women experience after the abortion as Post Abortion Syndrome. The aftermath of an abortion may bring thoughts and feelings that are too painful to deal with, and often women choose to repress or deny that it is the abortion that is causing them to feel badly

While a woman may feel that she has everything "under control," the mental and emotional stress may manifest itself in a variety of seemingly unrelated ways including:
-         Regret and remorse
-         depression
-         broken relationships
-         anger
-         grief and loss
-         destructive and compulsive behaviors
-         and other intense emotions.
 
The woman who is hurting from abortion may feel some or all of these symptoms. She may be unable to talk about it with anyone for fear they will not understand. It may be years before she realizes that she needs help and finds courage to search for it.

Perhaps you have wondered if many of your painful thoughts, feelings and behaviors could be related to your abortion experience. The Peace group may be of help to you!
 
PSC offers Forgiven and Set Free, an 11-week Bible Study for women that will bring hope and healing to the wounded heart.

PeACE Weekend Retreat

PSC offers the mature Christian woman an opportunity to work through the Forgiven and Set Free Bible Study at an accelerated pace.
 
A Peace Weekend Retreat is a chance to get away from all the environmental pressures of work and family and focus on healing from the wounds of abortion. The time away can provide an opportunity to enter the grieving process and identify all the ways that abortion has affected your life.
 
Prior work is involved, and the Peace Weekend Retreat requires a firm commitment. There is much study and self examination involved, but those willing to take the journey and open their heart and emotions, will be transformed by God’s healing power. The reward for setting apart this time for healing is restoration and freedom from the emotional and spiritual effects of a past abortion.
 
Weekend retreats offer a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem a heart broken by abortion. Women can share, perhaps for the first time, their deepest and most painful feelings surrounding their abortion.
 
Retreats are held in a quiet camp setting. In this natural serene setting, denial is broken, anger is resolved, forgiveness is secured and acceptance is embraced.
