DivorceCare

Our DivorceCare support group is 14-weeks long and usually meets twice a year. We are a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. DivorceCare offers valuable resources to help you deal with the pain of the past and look forward to rebuilding your life.

You don’t have to go through it alone.

Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are the most painful and stressful experiences they’ve ever faced. DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.

Our next session is August 20 to November 19

6:45 to 8:30 PM in rm. 137

NOTE: DivorceCare is a support group offered at many different locations at a wide variety of times (in-person and online).

If you need the support that DivorceCare offers, and we are between sessions, we encourage you to visit the DivorceCare website to find an active group near you.

GriefShare

Sundays from 4:00 to 6:00 PM | August 3 to October 26 | rm. 132

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel on a daily basis.

GriefShare is a ministry designed to help you through this hurt.

Worthington Christian Church is offering a 13-week GriefShare support group that meets on Sunday evenings beginning August 3 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM in room 132. We are composed of a group of friendly, caring people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences.

Each week you will receive helpful information on grief-related topics, have time to share in a group discussion, and discuss how to apply these concepts through a personal workbook. There is a $20 fee for the class, which covers the cost of the workbook which you don't have to purchase until the first day of class. Scholarships are available upon request.

Questions? Or need to request a scholarship? Please contact Peggy Fenstermaker.
NOTE: We generally offer this group twice a year (Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall). GriefShare is a support group offered at many different locations at a wide variety of times (in-person and online).

If you need the support that GriefShare offers, and we are between sessions, we strongly encourage you to visit the GriefShare website to find an active group near you. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”

- 2 Corinthians 1:2-4

Prayer Ministry

Prayer requests are collected via email, phone calls into the office and/or Connect Cards. Requests are then reviewed for any privacy concerns before being sent out to the prayer chain that evening. (Emergency prayer requests will go out as soon as possible.) All WCC members are encouraged to join the prayer chain. If you’d like to join, please email your request to us.

NOTE: If you have a prayer request that you DO NOT want published on the prayer chain, please make note of that when you submit your request. We have a ministry team that will pray for you regardless, we just won’t push that request out to our congregation of prayer warriors if those are your wishes.

If you would like to make a prayer request, please contact the Prayer Ministry or call the church office at 614-885-8389 (after hours voicemail: extension 116).
