SPECIAL FEATURE DivorceCare–Helping you Recover From the Pain…
I
f you are divorced or separated, you don’t have to go through this experience alone. There is help, hope and healing available at Crestview Baptist Church in Georgetown, Wednesday evenings 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. DivorceCare is a special weekly support group and seminar conducted by people who know and understand the pain of what you are experiencing. At these seminars, you will be given ways to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to a great future.
At DivorceCare, there are small support groups of people with like experiences. As you meet others, you yourself will be encouraged and find a place of understanding. Some people say these small groups are the “most helpful part of the program.” DivorceCare is a nondenominational organization and features biblical teaching for recovering from divorce and separation. A $10 fee is suggested for participation in DivorceCare, with that fee including a workbook and as many sessions as a person chooses to attend. Some weekly topics include: • What’s Happening to Me? • Facing My Anger • Single Sexuality • Moving On, Growing Closer to God • Facing My Depression
DivorceCare features 13 life-changing video seminars conducted by 32 renowned experts on divorce and recovering, including: Kay Arthur, Dr. Tony Evans, Elsa Kok, Dr. Jim Talley and many more. After attending a DivorceCare seminar, one participant stated, “I have rejoined the land of the living.” DivorceCare has touched hundreds of thousands of lives in groups meeting around the world. In our area, DivorceCare meets in SOLO House, located adjacent to the west parking lot at Crestview Baptist Church in Georgetown, Texas (2300 Williams Drive). To learn more about the seminars, visit www.divorcecare.org or call 863-9370, or 635-0670. You can also email the facilitator at SoloHouseCBC@aol.com.
In addition to the ongoing DivorceCare group, Crestview Baptist also offers DC4K (DivorceCare for Kids). DC4K, designed for kids ages 5-12, is a 13-session series for kids from families dealing with separation and divorce. Two cycles of DC4K are offered by the church each year with one starting in late August and the other in late January. Each session combines games, videos, music, crafts, and other activities to provide a safe and fun learning environment for the kids. Information about DC4K can be obtained using the same contact information listed earlier, or by visiting the national website at www.dc4k.org.
