Description: Separation and divorce support group to meet

First Presbyterian Church of Maumee (FPC) will offer a separation and divorce recovery support group beginning Thursday, Feb. 21 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The renowned nondenominational 13-week program called DivorceCare is free and open to the public.

You don’t have to struggle alone. If you are separated, going through a divorce, or have been divorced for any period of time, this class can help. The class is a video program based on Biblical teachings and covers a different topic each week. Most individuals who have taken the class feel that the lessons and discussions are very helpful.

Weekly topics include the road to healing and finding help, facing anger, depression, and loneliness, new relationships, financial survival, child care, forgiveness, reconciliation, and moving on and growing closer to God.

Any adult can join the group at any time during the 13-week period, said FPC pastor, Clint Tolbert.
Tolbert added, “You do not have to be a church member to attend. Everyone is welcome.”

To pre-register or for more information, call First Presbyterian Church of Maumee at (419) 893-0223 or visit
