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.
