Divorce Care
January 20 – April 14, 2026 You’ll discover there are people who understand your hurts, emotions and painful experiences! In divorce, it’s common to feel isolated. In DivorceCare, you’ll find that you are not alone, that there are others who understand what you are going through. You’ll learn helpful, practical information that will help you recover from your separation or divorce. The DivorceCare videos feature top experts on divorce and recovery subjects and case studies of people just like you, who have been through the divorce experience. You’ll have the chance to talk about your experiences. It can be very healing to tell others what you are going through. The support group sessions include a time to talk about what you’ve seen on the DivorceCare videos and what is going on in your life. And while you have the opportunity to tell your story, there’s never pressure for you to do so if you don’t feel like it. DivorceCare is led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You will learn how to heal from the deep hurt of divorce and discover hope for your future. You’ll become part of a “family.” Divorce Care group members often tell us that they feel like their group has become a family, that they made new friends, and are around people they can relate to. DivorceCare is designed to be a safe environment, and dating relationships between group participants are not encouraged (to allow you time to focus on your personal healing).

2026 The Queen's Ball Tea Party
May 30, 2026 It has come to my delightful attention that a most elegant gathering is soon to take place — a Ladies’ Tea Party designed for women of grace, faith, and refined fellowship. One can only imagine the beauty of such an affair where delicate teacups will clink, laughter will echo, and hearts will be uplifted in sweet sisterhood. Rumor has it that charming décor, delightful treats, and meaningful conversation will accompany this sacred and stylish afternoon. Yet, as with all gatherings of notable society, seating is quite limited, and only those wise enough to register promptly shall secure their place at the table. So prepare your loveliest tea attire, gather your finest hats and gloves, and make haste, dear ladies. For an afternoon of elegance, encouragement, and Christian fellowship awaits — and it would be simply dreadful to miss such a splendid occasion.
