Bereavement Information Night -
Held one night a month in the bereavement room on
the second floor of the Religious Education building, we invite

over our library and video resources on grief and find out
information regarding our Bereavement Support
groups.

Bereavement Partners
A ministry of listening and compassion, a
bereavement partner is someone one willing to make
contact with individuals who have experienced a recent loss.
The contact can take the form of visits, phone calls or notes or can
be a combination of all three in hope of providing
a caring, supportive presence during a difficult time. Bereavement partners
also host and provide hospitality at our monthly
bereavement information nights. Training is
provided.

Bereavement Support Groups All who have experienced the loss of a loved one are invited
to join groups led by certified bereavement group facilitators for eight consecutive weeks
in the fall and spring. An oasis of strength and friendship, small groups of eight to
twelve adults provide emotional, educational and spiritual support for the bereaved.
