Divorce and Relationship Breakdown Recovery Workshops

A series of workshops which aim at assisting people to get over the pain of divorce or relationship breakdown is set to begin again for 2005.

Workshops will take place at St Albans Anglican Church, Forster at 7.30 pm and run for seven (7) weeks. The workshops begin on Wednesday, 11 May.
There is a charge of $40 to cover costs of advertising and copying.

This is a non-religious programme run by volunteers and has benefited hundreds of people over the years.

For more information please call Christine on 6555 2470 or Jeff on 6554 8351.

Healing Service and Grief Support

Every 3rd Thursday of the month at 5.00 pm a healing service is held at St Albans Anglican Church Forster. This is NOT one of those scams as seen regularly on TV. People don't ask you to fall over etc and throw away your crutches etc. We simply give people the opportunity to come forward for healing prayer. This is not theatre, but about opening up ourselves to God's powerful healing love. If you are thinking about coming then its probably right for you to do so.

We also have a wonderful group that meets monthly to offer grief and bereavement support.

To find out more about the above call Fr Jeff on 6554 8351.
