Resiliency, A forum with Rev. Ron Greer | Resiliency is the capacity to respond to challenges, to recover from difficulties, to heal from heartaches. It means more than just survive - but to come back, to heal. On October 25 at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel we will discuss the pillars of resiliency that best enable us to engage in those stressful times and then look at the possibility that these ordeals can even strengthen us for the challenges ahead. This event is sponsored by the One Lamb Initiative and Stephen Ministry. For more information please contact Bob Levinson at Rev. Kathy Brockman

Support Groups


Dunwoody UMC offers several life-specific support groups that meet regularly to help members and the community deal with difficult issues such as memory loss, divorce or death.

If you are trying to cope with caring for a loved one with a form of dementia, even if long distance, there is a monthly support group to help you! Come and join others who are on this same journey. Confidential meetings are held the second Thursday of each month in the Wesley Room from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. For further information contact JoAnn Akers at 404-434-9467.

DivorceCare is the #1 Divorce Recovery program in the world. It is a life-changing support group that welcomes all people and guides them on the path of recovery after separation or divorce. Over 1 million people have found comfort and hope through this 13-week, video-based program with nationally recognized expert speakers, plus two volunteer co-leaders. DivorceCare uses a combination of a 30 minute video, group discussion and a personal workbook to guide you. No legal advice is given as a part of the DivorceCare curriculum.
