Each of us suffer losses in our lives, members of this ministry assist others who are dealing with the loss of a loved one by providing bereavement support which may include cards, phone calls, visits and educational literature about the bereavement process. We meet regularly for support and formation. Individuals or couples who think they might be called to minister to others as a member of this team will be given training, materials and support.

 Healing Grief Support Group
