Being a Single Parent is a tough job, here at Christ Church we offer several classes that offer parents an opportunity for healing, learning and fellowship.
Divorce Care - DivorceCare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. Don’t go through separation or divorce alone.
DivorceCare seminars and support groups are led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable DivorceCare resources to help you deal with the pain of the past and look forward to rebuilding your life.
Divorce Care for Kids (DC4K) - Are your children experiencing your separation or divorce? Finding help for your children can be challenging. DivorceCare for Kids, DC4K, provides a safe, fun place where your children will
• Learn to understand their feelings
• Express their emotions appropriately
• Feel better about themselves
• Develop coping skills
• Be introduced to biblical concepts that will bring comfort
Single Mom's Mother's Day Luncheon - this event is held annually in May on Mother's Day Sunday. Hosted by Lisa Hoshino (once a single mom herself) and several other volunteers. The afternoon is filled with a great atmosphere, plenty of food, prize giveaways and other single mom's just like you.
Healing for Damaged Emotions - This small group focuses on helping individuals heal from damaged emotions stemming from physical, mental, emotional, relational and/or sexual abuse they experienced at some point in their lives.
Persons who experience these types of abuse typically develop distorted views of self, others, and God. They often believe they deserved the treatment they received and as adults, most areas of their lives are negatively impacted.
Research demonstrates that victims of abuse heal more quickly when participating in a small group designed around abuse recovery. Learning that others share similar pasts, struggles, and fears provides validity to the participant’s pain. A sense of safety and “normalness” is fostered when encouragement and support by others making the same journey is provided.
We use David Seaman’s Healing for Damaged Emotions as a study guide. A small registration fee is charged to cover the expense of this book. Call 817-296-3841 for more information. All calls are confidential.
“Throughout this study, one thing I have learned is that in order to have a successful future, I must first go backwards before I can move forwards. That God is the healer of all things and time is but a small part of the process.” - A Participant
Grief Share - GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
GriefShare seminars and support groups are led by people who understand what you're going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable GriefShare resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.
Holiday Joy - Christ Church is a "Hospital for Hurting Humanity", a place to come for healing, hope and a future. During both Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays we would like to provide a helping hand to those Single Parent Families who may be struggling with needs during this time. Thanksgiving baskets containing a full Thanksgiving meal is provided for Single Parent Families who just may not be able to provide this Thanksgiving. Christmas for the children; a time of the year where we all love to spread a little holiday joy, but may just not be able to as much as we would like, Christ Church offers a helping hand to make your child's day one to remember by providing gift cards for gifts for Single Parent Families.
For more information regarding opportunities for Single Parent Families contact the Singles Department at the church office.
