It’s hard to know how to help someone going through a divorce. It takes a long time and a lot of work to heal the pain that comes with the breakup of a marriage.

DivorceCare is a special weekly seminar and support group for people who are separated or divorced. If you know someone who is going through a divorce, make sure he or she knows about DivorceCare. It just might be the best thing you could do to help.

Our DivorceCare group meets Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in Room 1000. Join at any time. Our facilitators are Jamie and Caycee Schmitt.  Brochures and more information is available in our church office, or call 706-884-5631 today.
