Grief Support Ministry

The Grief Support Ministry strives to extend comfort and healing to those who have lost a loved one. Through personal connections, beginning with the day of the funeral, and continuing with ongoing outreach, we strive to Make God's Love Visible. Resource materials, including prayers, articles, and information about upcoming events, are also available through the Grief Support Ministry Flocknote newsletters linked below.
