We recognize the journey of grief can be difficult and want to remind you that you are not alone on this journey. God is with you. As the loving and comforting Body of Christ, your church is also with you on this journey in thought and in prayer.
Shenendehowa United Methodist Church is launching a supportive bereavement group called Grief Care. You are invited to attend. There is no cost or preparation required. Each session will include prayer, a voluntary time of sharing, Scripture reflection, a topic for discussion regarding grief, and end with a motivation to continue the journey.
Sessions are held in the church "Hearth Room" Thursday Mornings each week at 10:00 AM. Some of the topics planned for the coming season include:
1. Getting through the holidays
2. Living with loss when others are celebrating
3. Handling anniversaries and milestones
4. Helping others (including family members) in their grief
5. Safety and security
6. Developing coping skills
7. What to do with a loved one's possessions
8. Meaningful rituals
9. Dealing with depression
10. Understanding the emotions connected to grief
11. Reinvesting in life
12. Coping with change
13. Handling difficulties (people/family members, money issues) that affect the grief
journey
We hope you will prayerfully consider being a part of Grief Care.
