DivorceCare for Kids is a special group to help children heal from the hurt caused by the separation or divorce of their parents. At our weekly DC4K group, kids make friends who understand how they feel and the things they are going through because of the divorce of their parents. Best of all, children will learn how God’s love can strengthen them and help turn tears to hope and joy!
DC4K Design: Our DC4K group meets weekly in 13 sessions in the fall and spring. The fall session begins September 8, 2008. We combine games, crafts, activities, music and videos to create a fun atmosphere where children feel comfortable and accepted. They look forward to each time their DC4K “family” gets together.
Ages: DC4K is designed for children in 1st-5th grades.
Date & Time: Monday evenings from 6:30-8:00 pm.
Cost: $15.00
To ensure adequate leadership, pre-registration is encouraged. Online registration will be available soon.
Family support: DivorceCare for Kids is structured to replicate a large family environment. Children from the same family are kept together, because they often look to each other for security during the divorce experience.
Parent involvement: Parents are encouraged to be involved with their children as they go through DC4K. They will receive a weekly “parent page,” describing what the child has learned and how to have follow up discussion in the week that follows.
DivorceCare connectivity: DC4K follows the same schedule and age-appropriate content themes as the adult DivorceCare Ministry, allowing parents and children to progress through the healing process together.
Content: DC4K is nondenominational and features biblical teaching to help children recover from the hurt of separation and divorce.
