YORK— Losing a job doesn't only create financial challenges; it takes a toll on a person both mentally and emotionally. That is why members of a York church are offering a support group for the unemployed. Jim Driskell, pastor at First St. John's Lutheran Church, says the class provides job search resources, as well as encouragement and hope. "This is a group that is designed not only to help you find a job, it is also ultimately to realize you're not the only person there, you're not the only person dealing with the problems," said Driskell. A handful of people showed up to participate in the class. Mark Stephens, who has been unemployed since 2009, drove from the Gettysburg area. He says he is hoping the group helps him grow his computer skills. "As you know, the job market has changed, not all the jobs are going to be found through the paper or even through word of mouth, it is mostly through the Internet now," said Stephens. Besides basic computer skills, Driskell says the class covers creating resumes, job interview techniques, and ways to network. "It helps to have support, a lot of support from people who are going through the same," said Gregory Markey, who is looking for work. The support group for people unemployed or under employed meets every Thursday at 11:00 AM at First St. John's Lutheran Church located at 140 W. King Street in York. To register, call the church at 717-843-8597.

Unemployment is at the highest it's been in decades. We have started a support group for those who are currently looking for work. It is often a lonely, uncertain and intimidating time. Being able to share with those who are going through it will help you know that you're not the only one. It will also give group members an opportunity to network and share prospects and to help each do the work of finding work. Right now the group meets on Thursdays at 11am Contact Pastor Jim for more information and to discuss further, if you need to talk about a different day and time. | |
