WOMEN'S SUPPORT GROUP TO MEET THURSDAY AT JACKSON

JACKSON -- A women's support group will meet Thursday at New McKendree United Methodist Church, 209 S. High in Jackson.

The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in room 202. All women are invited to attend.

The Rev. O. Otto Steinhaus, church pastor, said the group is being formed to allow women to come together and share some of the problems they experience. Such problems include: loss of a spouse through death or divorce, struggles of being a single parent, and dealing with children's behavioral problems or domestic violence.

Leading the group will be Cathy Covington, who has conducted other meetings in Nevada and Arizona.

Steinhaus said it is hoped the women can make new friends and enjoy fellowship and mutual support.

The meeting will be more of a get-acquainted session to decided when and how often to meet.
