chosoing wisely before you divorce
|
| Choosing Wisely Before You Divorce is a program offered by Bethany to those who have troubled marriages and are considering divorce. We desire that those who are in the middle of this turmoil, at whatever stage of the process, have access to good information and a chance to think through the implications from a Christian perspective. This is not marriage counseling, but is a video-based program, prepared by pastors, psychologists, marriage counselors, lawyers, and other experts, helping the couple work through the various facets of the divorce decision, including legal, physical, financial, spiritual, emotional, and effects on children. Childcare provided. The program at Bethany is facilitated by Mark Boerger. |

Monthly support group for single parents
(1st sunday of each month)
|
|
We're starting a new gathering, just for you! While parenting is a challenging task for anyone, we know that it can be especially difficult for the single parent. We do not care for what reason you are single, nor whether you're male or female, nor if divorcedwhether you're the custodial or non-custodial parent; we just want to be helpful to you, give you a group of other people who share this situation, and help you to gain some wisdom, information, and coping skills. This group will be led by some people who have been down this road and still have some level of sanity remaining. Child care provided. Contact Mark Boerger, Director of Young Adult Ministries, with questions.
