Denise Kitchen – Hebron Baptist Church, Dacula, Georgia

I just looked on your website and it is a great resource that I let my single mom's support group know about today. God had been all over me to start a support group for single moms and finally it all came together in January of this year (2011). We have a great support group system here at our church and we are a very large church, but really nothing where single moms could go to other than a bible study…..don't get me wrong, I am a Christian who believes that a relationship with God is the most important thing in any one's life, but I know from being a single mom myself, that there are times you just need to know what to do with your crying child or rebellious teen or dead beat ex spouse other than what scripture to pray over them…… It has been great just hearing them get together and just talk to one another even if we did nothing else for them. So thanks for sharing this with me.

Divorce Care for Kids
What is DC4K? DC4K is a special group to help your children heal from the pain caused by a separation or divorce. DC4K provides your children with a safe and neutral place to recognize and learn to share their feelings. For 13 weeks your children become involved in a fun, caring group. The weekly session topics help your children learn that God’s love strengthens them and helps them turn their sadness to hope and their anger to joy. Each session is filled with motivating and exciting activities. Games, crafts, role playing, discussion times, journaling and workbooks help your children process the divorce and move forward in their lives. The music CDs, snacks, read aloud stories, exercises and Bible verses teach your children to relax and rest secure in God’s love. The Kids Like Me and Stories from the Bible video dramas present stories of children just like your children, who are experiencing divorce-related problems and have found help and encouragement. DC4K is a powerful ministry for kids 5–12 years of age.
