Grief Support Group

Loss and grief come in many forms. No matter the form, they are often hard to face alone. It can help to process them in community. We invite you to join one of our Grief Support groups that meets on Zoom twice a month. We offer a group on the first and third Thursday of every month at 10:30am-11:30am (EST). Together, we make space for listening, sharing, and supporting one another in our respective journeys. We are glad to be with you as you process your loss. All are welcome.

 A Testimony . . .

I’ve been in a small grief support group now for almost two years. We meet twice monthly in a home and all of us have grown quite close because we are sharing our joys and sorrows—without trying to fix each other. Several new people have joined recently, people who are hurting. While other groups found these people overwhelming, we welcome them, trusting God will love them through our group. It has been such a rich and satisfying experience to be part of this group! - Betsy S.
