SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR DIVORCED, WIDOWED AND SEPARATED
On the weekend of Friday,
March 19 through Sunday, March 21, 2010, a very special workshop for people who
are divorced, widowed or separated will be offered to the Upstate Area of South
Carolina. Known as THE BEGINNING
EXPERIENCE, it is an International Program, unique in the fields of peer
ministry and ministry to the single-again.
Its well-structured programs are both psychologically and spiritually
sound, having been designed and developed by respected Christian professionals
in the fields of ministry, grief psychology, education and organizational
process.
While relatively new to
the State of South Carolina, since its
inception in Texas
in 1974, Beginning Experience has spread to 35 states and 8 foreign countries.
Sponsored by the Social Ministries Department of the Episcopal Diocese of
South Carolina, the first Beginning Experience Weekend in
South Carolina was held in October of 2001.
It is open to adults of all ages and denominations who struggle under the
trauma of having lost a loving relationship and desire to take back control of
their lives.
Beginning Experience
provides the safe space, the support and the tools to heal, to grow, and to turn
one�s greatest devastation into opportunity.
It is a place to find understanding and compassion from trained, caring
people who can truly share the long walk back to wholeness.
It is not a sensitivity group or a professional counseling session.
It is not intended to provide therapy or to replace the need for it.
It is non-confrontational and invitational.
The Weekend Program is
designed to help people who are divorced, widowed or separated make a new
beginning in life. It provides an
atmosphere of support and acceptance where people can come together to
re-evaluate themselves and their lives, and move on to the future with
renewed hope.
If this sounds like a
Weekend that you or someone you know would benefit from, call 843-814-8408
TODAY. It is not too early to register for the March 2010 Weekend.
Cost for the entire weekend is $175.00, which includes all meals,
accommodations, and some workshop materials.
This Weekend is being held at The Oratory in Rock Hill.
