Flyers to post in your house of worship or organization and/or share with friends and family:

Samson Society
Samson Society is a brotherhood of men seeking authentic connection, spiritual growth, and freedom through honesty, humility, and shared struggle. Authentic Community. Serious, Not Grave.
It’s not a church group, not a self-help program, and definitely not a place where we pretend to have it all together. It’s a fellowship of men—real men—who are choosing honesty over hiding, connection over isolation, and grace over guilt. Here, you don’t have to fake it. You don’t have to perform. You just have to show up.
Whether you’re struggling with pornography, unwanted compulsive sexual behaviors, feeling stuck in life, or just searching for real friendship, there’s a place for you here. No man should have to walk alone. The groups meets every Tuesday from 7-8 pm at Christ Community Church, 300 S. Artizan St., Williamsport, MD 21795. Download a flyer or visit the website.
