We are expanding!! On Sunday, October 9th,

join us for the ribbon cutting and dedication of our

second Sheridan House Counseling Center.

Since 1993, the Sheridan House Counseling Center has

served thousands of individuals and families by providing

answers from a Biblical perspective in a confidential

and professional counseling setting. Headquartered

on Flamingo Road in Western Broward County, the

Sheridan House Counseling Center is now adding a

second location. Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church has

graciously donated and renovated office space so that we

may expand our counseling services to Eastern Broward

County. Now clients will have a choice of an east or a

west office; whichever is more convenient for them.

Our new Sheridan House counseling office is located

on the campus of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

at 5555 N. Federal Highway, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

We will still provide the same combination of God’s truth

and professional expertise that you have come to trust

from Sheridan House. Our licensed counselors specialize

in a variety of issues including marital and family

problems, child and adolescent counseling, and individual

concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, and more.

When Shane arrived at Sheridan House he barely spoke above a

whisper. In a house filled with boys all striving to be heard, there sat silent

Shane. With a slow to speak and slow to act quality about him, making

connections with others in the home was going to take some time.

Shane’s home life was turbulent. He was withdrawn. His academics were

suffering. He hid behind silence as a means to escape. As he worked

diligently to change his social and academic behaviors, he began to develop

leadership skills and confidence. Whenever Shane decided to speak, it was

well worth the effort to listen. Shane has a distinct ability to hear the “still

small voice” that comes directly from the Heavenly Father. He knows how to

be still and know that God is God; and he is comfortable in his uniqueness.

What’s truly remarkable about the nine months Shane spent at Sheridan

House is that not only did he find his physical voice, but he also learned

how to communicate with others through his passion for music. As quiet

as Shane is, he quickly learned that he is a beast on a drum kit. His

timing is impeccable, his dynamics are powerful, and his style is original.

We are so proud of Shane. He entered Sheridan House as a quiet

boy, but he graduated as a strong silent young man who has a

keen sense of who God is and who he is in Christ. The music

God has placed in his heart resonates God’s goodness and we

trust it will not go unheard.

Shane has a distinct

ability to hear the

“still small voice” that

comes directly from

the Heavenly Father.

A Note From Bob -

It’s Tee Time! The 29th Annual Sheridan House Golf Tournament is right around the corner and I am so excited.

This fun-filled day is a great time for individuals and businesses to come together in a spirit of fellowship and camaraderie to make a difference in the lives of children and families here in our community. It is, by far, one of the ministry highlights for me each year.

It is tremendously encouraging to see so many men and women committed to encouraging others. United in purpose, we come together to enjoy a great day of golf to accomplish a greater mission of saving kids and serving families.

I hope that you will be a part of it this year. This event matters because it gives all of us an opportunity to give, restore a life, offer hope, and be a part of a God movement in our neighborhood. That is something you won’t want to miss! To register, visit shfm.org/golf. Serving Him,
