DivorceCare Family Ministry

The next session for the DivorceCare Family Ministry begins Thursday, Oct. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. at First UM Church, 200 Market Street.

DivorceCare, a 13-week Christ-centered program, features nationally-recognized experts on divorce and recovery topics from a Christian perspective through dvds and a participant notebook. Some of the sessions include “Facing My Anger,” “Facing My Loneliness,” “Depression,” “New Relationships,” “Forgiveness,” and “Financial Survival.”

During these sessions, you will meet others facing some of the same issues, who understand what you’re feeling and who will be able to offer encouragement. Much healing can occur during these group discussions, which will help you deal with the pain of the past and to look forward to rebuilding your life and future.

DivorceCare Ministry is ongoing and designed as a weekly format to run on a continuous cycle, which means a person can join anytime. It is hoped that this ministry will become a place where families can gain knowledge and share their feelings within a small group of others that are also experiencing the pain of separation and divorce. As they become more active in this ministry and begin to develop trust, those at First Church will have an opportunity to introduce them to other aspects of church life and opportunities for spiritual growth.

For more information or if you have any questions concerning this program, contact Heidi Ketzko through the church office at 723-4930.
