Divorce Care
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 lots of questions about issues you've never faced before. Our Divorce Care group meets biweekly for a series of thirteen lessons that help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.
During the first part of the meeting, the Divorce Care 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.
After viewing the video, Divorce Care participants discuss what was presented in that week's video seminar and what is going on in the lives of group members.  There are also books for each member.
There are no fees, and books are provided.  Session facilitator is Scott McCray.  The thirteen session Divorce Care meetings are held on Monday nights at 7 p.m. at First United Methodist Church.   The dates will be March 31-June 23
