OUTREACH COMMISSION

GRIEF MINISTRY

Mission

The support group is a shared experience designed for persons who wish the support of a group while going through the process of  grieving and/or for persons who are experiencing difficulty  resolving the death of a loved one.

The groups combine an educational and supportive approach with the  focus on healthy grieving and coping through the use of specific  exercises and activities.

Meetings:

A grief group is formed when 8 to 10 people have expressed a desire to come together. The group then meets for 10 consecutive weeks with two trained facilitators leading the group activities.

It is important that the participants commit to an 8 to 10-week program.

The group creates a safe, confidential environment in which to share feelings, understanding, and support. Homework is designed for increased coping and healing.

The group  enables a continuation of  healing and reinvestment in life and  relationships.
