My Sister’s House
Monday, February 12th, 2007“My Sister’s House,” a transitional housing project for women suffering from addiction and other problems who are trying to put their lives back together, is up and running with one woman currently living at the home in Port Washington and another to soon join her. Friedens members Dawn Uselding and Alston Cole are the driving forces behind the creation of this project, having grown out of Alston’s and Dawn’s service to women in the Ozaukee County Jail where they lead Alcoholics Anonymous and Bible study groups. The project is currently in a fundraising phase. If you’d like to help financially, be part of a prayer network or help in other ways, please send Dawn an e-mail at anewdawnservices@live.com.
Friedens sponsors several groups and classes for women. For a complete listing, check out the Small Groups and Classes page under the “Ministries” tab.
In addition, Friedens also sponsors a Christian Recovery discussion group for those suffering from addictions. It meets at 8 p.m. on Thursdays and is led by Lee and Dyane Sloane. For more information, call (262) 339-9461.
Shut-in Visitation Team
Sunday, October 29th, 2006 
Join the Friedens Visitation Team, which visits those in Ozaukee, Washington and Sheboygan counties who live in nursing homes or have trouble getting out of their homes. Besides just visiting, they engage in Bible readings, prayer, sometimes sharing communion and otherwise serving them in anyway they can. Friedens also has a compassion ministry for men who make themselves available to do odd jobs and home repairs for the elderly, single moms and others who need help. If you’re interested in being part of this fellowship, or need help or know someone who does, call the church at 284-2471.
