Wildwood Church will begin DivorceCare for adults and its companion program DC4K for kids on Sunday Jan. 22, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. DivorceCare and DC4K are nondenominational and features biblical teaching for recovering from divorce and separation.
DivorceCare is a 13-week seminar/support group that addresses various issues related to separation and divorce. The program's DVD series features nationally recognized experts discussing topics such as "Facing My Anger," Facing My Loneliness," "Depression," "New Relationships," "Kid Care" and "Forgiveness."
DC4K for kids is a comprehensive 13-week program designed to run concurrently with the adult program for children ages 5-12 years of age. DC4K follows the same schedule and age-appropriate content themes as the adult program allowing parents and children to progress through the healing process together.
Sample topics for kids include "What's Happening to My Family?" "Facing My Anger," "I Am Not Alone," and "Telling My Parents How I Feel."
According to Ben Chandler, who facilitates DivorceCare at Wildwood with his wife Karen, "There aren't many people around you who understand the pain and devastation divorce and or separation cause. DivorceCare offers a safe community where people who are struggling with the same issues are able to understand what you are feeling and will be able to offer one another encouragement."
With increasing frequency, the issues of divorce are coming to our churches. People hurting from divorce or separation are showing up at churches seeking help and healing for their pain. It may be the first time they've set foot in a church, or they may be returning after a long time away.
When a person experiences separation or divorce, he or she needs help and support right away.
DivorceCare groups are designed to be open so that a person can begin coming any week. People going through divorce need long-term support and care. Healing from divorce can take months, even years. DivorceCare provides a consistent, ongoing ministry to fit their needs.
Wildwood Church is located at 100 Ox Bottom Road.
Childcare is available (infants-4 years of age) free of charge. Contact Wildwood at 894-1400 to find additional information concerning registration.
