Healing from divorce is not easy. At Divorce Care groups, people in separation and divorce find tools, teaching and support to help them deal with their pain and give them hope for the future.

Most people will say separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they have ever had. If you are facing this, you know it is a confusing time when you feel isolated and have lots of questions about issues you have never encountered before.

Divorce Care groups help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.  The 13-week Christ-centered program includes three main parts—video, group discussion and personal Bible study. The videos feature teaching from over 50 leading Christian counselors, teachers and pastors who speak on topics important to people in separation or divorce. The videos also contain real-life stories of people who have been through a marital breakup, as they share their pain, challenges, and path to healing.

During the discussion time, the group will discuss the concepts presented in the videos and share what is going on in everyone’s lives. Each participant will receive a workbook that contains a daily Bible study for personal reflection and application throughout the following week.

The Divorce Care sessions address divorce-related concerns, such as how long is this pain going to last? Will I survive? Are these feelings I’m having normal? Where is God in all this? You will gain insights on how to handle tough emotions, such as anger, depression, and loneliness.

Other Divorce Care session topics:

• What to do about sexual temptation
• How to get out of debt
• What the Bible says about your situation
• How to know if you are ready for a new relationship
• How to lessen the impact of divorce on your children
• Reconciliation

Although Divorce Care is not currently being offered at TWFBC, if you are interested in attending a class, please contact John Hereford via email at john@thewoodlandsfirst.org  or call 281-367-4317 and he will be pleased arrange to conduct a session with enough people to start a group OR to help you find a group that is conveniently located.

Are you or someone you know grieving the loss of a loved one?

Find help and encouragement through your GriefShare Support Group.

GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You do not have to go through the grieving process alone.

Right now, it may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future. If you have lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you have probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.  This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you have never faced before.   

“Going to GriefShare feels like having warm arms wrapped around you when you’re shivering.”

GriefShare groups meet weekly, for thirteen weeks, and consist of the following distinct components:

Ø  Video Seminar – Encouraging, information-packed videos featuring leading grief recovery experts  

Ø  Support Group – Small group discussion about the weekly video content

Ø  Workbook – Journaling and personal study exercises that reinforce the weekly session topics

Your caring facilitators will walk with you on the path from grief toward healing and hope and are there to help you face the challenges of grief and help you and as you move towards rebuilding your life.  

For additional information or questions, please contact John Hereford via email at john@thewoodlandsfirst.org or call the church office at 281-367-4317 OR Jean Swanson, GriefShare Outreach Coordinator, via email at jvs62@earthlink.net or call 281-827-0337.

Healing the Wounds of the Heart

How can the wounds to our hearts be healed?  Through a group that listens

Please join our small group to bring healing to wounds to the heart—emotions, spirit, soul—from trauma or loss. If you suffer from hopelessness, nightmares, ongoing sadness or exhaustion, unexplained anger, flashbacks, being overwhelmed, feelings of isolation, or unprocessed grief, whatever the source, this small group may be for you.

The group will be led by facilitators who are trained in Bible- based trauma healing. Together, we will make a safe space for group members to:

• Discover what the Bible says about suffering
• Learn about trauma and its effects
• Explore any trauma or loss you may be carrying
• Release some of the emotional pain you carry
• Help you get unstuck, reconnected, and ready to move on in life
• Build resilience for the future

“The Lord is near to those who are discouraged;
he saves those who have lost all hope.” Psalm 34:18 (GNT)

About the group model:

This healing group uses the proven and time-tested model of the Trauma Healing Institute at American Bible Society. Using applied Scripture and best mental health principles, we can help you address spiritual and emotional wounds caused by trauma of war, violence, natural disasters, serious accidents, and abuse.

The group will use the book Healing the Wounds of Trauma: How the Church Can Help. It is in use in over 100 countries with more than 194 language groups in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas. To learn more about the model, the Trauma Healing Institute, and its work in equipping and supporting a global community of workers in trauma care, please visit TraumaHealingInstitute.org.

“Coming into this group, I was angry and bitter, but I didn’t know why— and I was taking it out on my family. When we discussed one of the stories in this book, I saw myself. I realized that the anger was coming from pain deep inside. As I was able to talk about it and ask Jesus to heal me, the pain got less and less. Now I am freed from the anger and my family is happy.” – “Sam,” participant in a healing group, June 2013

 The book is designed for use in groups and written in simple and non-technical language. Each lesson begins with a story depicting its topic, followed by discussion questions and participatory exercises. The book includes more than 270 Bible references from more than 217 passages. There are five core sessions that make up the Healing process.  

We will meet on Thursday and Friday evening 7-9pm and Saturday, 9am to 5pm.  We will make use of stories, discussion, art, crafts and song in a process that has been shown to help work through the trauma and begin to process and heal.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

When hopeless people have a safe place to process their pain, and faith-filled hope is modeled and shared, they become hope-filled and thrive (in spite of their mental health challenge).

OUR MISSION

A mental illness seems to rob you of your future hopes and dreams.  And hopelessness begins to take over.

The doctor, the therapist, and medicine are not enough in learning how to live life in spite of having a mental health challenge.  That is where a peer-to-peer support group can come alongside to strengthen.

Those with lived experience (peers) can model and empower one another to live well in spite of a mental health challenge.

As peers, we believe there is hope, and it is possible to live well because we have been there.

We guide and support those with a mental illness, along with their loved ones, to find hope that is based upon research.

So that they and their loved ones might have hopes and dreams again, so they live a faith-filled, full, and vibrant life in spite of a mental health challenge.

Contact john@thewoodlandsfirst.org or 281-367-4317 for details about joining the group.
