Brevard Christian Counselors Association

First let me say, “Many thanks” to the Tabernacle Community Church for being such gracious hosts for our bi-monthly meetings.

During this morning’s meeting we took time to network over coffee, fruit and other goodies. There were several new faces this morning: Don Blair from The Fire Place, a Pastoral counseling and prayer ministry in Viera, Joy Heal, LMHC of Life Paths of Florida (246-4305), and Linda Dixon with Hope Recovery Ministries.

Another new face was Sarah Ledbetter with Eckerd Youth Alternatives. She came to inform the BCCA counselors of her program that connects teenagers whose parents are incarcerated with mentors. This can be accomplished by a counselor or parent referral. For more information please contact Sarah at 243-5803.

The guest speaker this morning was “Dr. Bob” Bowers, who spoke to us about the fullness of forgiveness. He has written a book with the same title that outlines 8 very specific steps to forgiveness. The brief presentation was powerful and effective. Dr. Bob also speaks on Anger Management and will be offering an anger management class soon. For more information on Dr. Bob, to order his book or to email him about his anger management class go to his web site.

The Conference Planning Committee gave a report and recommended that the conference that was slated for September 2008 be tabled until next year.

The next Networking Breakfast will be held at the Cracker Barrel (Viera/Suntree exit) on Thursday April 10th from 8AM-9AM.

The next Networking and Training Meeting at the Tabernacle will be held Thursday May 8th from 8AM to 9:30 AM. Roger Wilson from the Tabernacle will be our guest speaker. He will be speaking on “A Counselor’s Spiritual Toolkit.” We look forward to hearing what Roger has to share.

In His service,

Jean
