Separation and divorce are among life's most difficult and painful experiences. You need the help and encouragement of others as you attempt to heal and restore balance to your life. Oasis is a special place of encouragement, learning, and sharing. Oasis meets weekly, providing you with an ongoing "support team" as you deal with the issues surrounding your separation or divorce. There are two parts to each weekly Oasis session. During the first 30-40 minutes of the meeting, the group watches a DVD featuring top experts on divorce and recovery topics. These DVD's contain valuable information about recovering from divorce and are produced in an interesting-to-watch television magazine format.

Session 1 - What's Happening to Me?
Session 2 - The Road to Healing/Finding Help
Session 3 - Facing your Anger
Session 4 - Facing your Depression
Session 5 - Facing your Loneliness
Session 6 - What Does the Owner's Manual Say?
Session 7 - New Relationships
Session 8 - Financial Survival
Session 9 - KidCare
Session 10 - Single Sexuality
Session 11 - Forgiveness
Session 12 - Reconciliation
Session 13 - Moving On, Growing Closer to God

Following the DVD, the participants spend time as a group discussing what was presented on that week's DVD and what is going on in the lives of the group's participants. Each group is led by two experienced group facilitators.

The next Oasis Divorce Recovery group will begin in the Fall of 2008 at Southside Church. Registration for the next session is now open. To get more information or to register, contact Troy and Kim Raines at troyhang@bellsouth.net.
