Should I lie about the support group?

So we can survive and not set him off, my children and I lie all the time and come up with explanations that are plausible enough so he won't question them. (I tell him I am going to the grocery store, when I am actually at my sister's house.)
I started going to a support group on Monday mornings, when he is at work. He thinks I am at home joining a weekly conference call from work. I drive him to the train so it's pretty hard for him to come home and check up on us.
I do work from home but my work situation has changed where they are asking me if I can come in 2 days a week. There is a chance I may have to attend group on Sunday afternoons or Tuesday evenings. But if I do that, I will have to come up with something plausible. I don't want him knowing I attend group, because he is always saying I need mental help, so this would play right into his hands. Plus it is at a shelter and I don't want him finding out the location.
I am active in our church so I was thinking of maybe saying I am volunteering there every Sunday.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
