MealsA light supper is provided for everyone each evening at no cost by members of Crescent Hill Baptist. Remember to thank them!

The group meets weekly to offer emotional support, practical advice, and a sense of community to anyone who is considering divorce, going through it, or rebuilding a life afterwards. The group is a single adult ministry of Crescent Hill Baptist Church; although sponsored by the church, the group is non-sectarian and self-governing, and welcomes participants regardless of religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, race, or role in the divorce.
Apart from the workshop described here, the group meets every Sunday from 5:00-6:30 p.m. in Room 211 in the education wing of the church. We will try to have signs and greeters to meet you; in their absence, please use the lobby entrance on Birchwood Avenue, bear right through the lobby and up the ramp, and take the stairs or the elevator to the second floor. The building is fully accessible.
Meetings are free and childcare for infants through fifth grade is provided at no charge. Walk-ins are always welcome.
