Grace Church members Sylvia and Rick Kirgis are in charge of a divorce recovery ministry for Christians who are going through divorce or who have recently gone through it.  

Each year, and sometimes twice a year, small groups of Christians feeling the agony of divorce meet in the KIrgis’ home one evening a week for about 13 weeks.   Each week they view a half-hour DVD and then have a discussion on such divorce recovery topics as depression, anger, loneliness, forgiveness, reconciliation, children of divorce, financial problems and new relationships.  Each DVD stresses the vital importance of Jesus Christ in the recovery process.  

Sylvia and Rick reinforce the centrality of Christ as they lead the discussions after the groups view the DVDs.  In the eleven years since they felt led to begin the program, more than forty people from several churches and denominations have participated in it, sometimes more than once. 

Sylvia and Rick are survivors of divorce, and have been happily married to each other for more than thirteen years.  If you know anyone who might benefit from the program, please contact Sylvia or Rick at 463-5443 or skirgis@embarqmail.com or kirgisr@embarqmail.com .
