DivorceCare

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. Seminar sessions include “Facing My Anger,” “Facing My Loneliness,” “Depression,” “New Relationships,” “KidCare,” and “Forgiveness.” During these sessions, you will meet others who understand what you’re feeling and who will be able to offer encouragement. There will be time spent talking about lessons and their own experiences. Much healing can occur during the group discussions, which will help you deal with the pain of the past and to look forward to rebuilding your life.

The First United Methodist Church DivorceCare ministry is ongoing and designed as a weekly format to run in a continuous cycle, which means a person can join any time. This is a non-profit ministry, which is supported through proceeds from the sale of DivorceCare materials and by contributions from people with a burden for divorce ministry.

It is hoped that this DivorceCare ministry will be a place where adults can gain knowledge and share their feelings within a small group of others that are also experiencing separation and divorce. As they become more active in this ministry and begin to develop trust, First Church will have an opportunity to introduce them to other aspects of church life and opportunities for spiritual growth.

The next session of DivorceCare begins Thursday, Sept. 19, from 6 to 8 p.m. at First United Methodist Church, 200 Market Street, Warren.

For more information, contact Heidi Ketzko, through First United Methodist Church, at 723-4930.
