Bereavement Group

Dr. Janet Piedilato – Minister Greg Lance – Coordinators

Our church will be holding a once a month bereavement support group.
Our aim is to offer a space for sharing and caring for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. No one needs to walk alone during these difficult days. Conversation, comfort and a shoulder to lean on as you continue to attempt to move ahead on the road of life.

The Journey Within commits itself to the development of our children as vital to the future of Spiritualism and strong leaders, dreamers and visionaries of the future. If we can be of help with your children please speak with Minister Janet Nohavec. Children are welcome at all services, we do appreciate your respect for the reasonable quiet during healing and meditation. Children are always welcome to sit with a healer during service.
