Divorce hurts. Find help at DivorceCare!
Thursdays @ 7:00 PM
Next session: September 26 - December 19
You don't have to go through it alone. Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they've ever faced. It's a confusing time when you feel isolated and have questions about issues you've never faced before.
DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each DivorceCare Week has two distinct elements:
- A Seminar with Experts - During the first 30 - 40 minutes of the meeting, the group watches a video seminar featuring top experts on divorce and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting-to-watch television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies and on-location video.
- A Support Group with Focus - After viewing the video, you will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week's video seminar and what is going on in your lives. For more information on the DivorceCare ministry, visit the DivorceCare website.
Cost is $15, includes workbook.
