Grief & Bereavement

“Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.”  Psalm 30:5

This ministry facilitates dialogue and explores issues of experienced loss and anticipatory loss.  A bio-psychosocial approach is used to address issues of anticipating the death of a loved one or with those who have already experienced the death of a loved one.  The role of spirituality and one’s relationship with God in the bereavement and grief process is discussed.  Participants meet regularly and engage in on-going discussion regarding how loss is dealt with emotionally, socially, mentally, and spiritually.

The Grief & Bereavement Ministry meets on Tuesdays at 7pm in seasonal cycles.
