Avenues for Growing Through Grief
Help for Hurting Hearts
We recognize that grief and loss come in all forms. This group is designed for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. All are welcome, regardless of church affiliation.
Next Session: Thursdays, Jan 16 - Feb 27, 11:30am-1pm, Room 205
Participants will have the opportunity to share about their loved ones while learning about the grief journey, coping techniques, and theories on grief over six consecutive weeks of grief support.
Contact Karen Varner at kvarner@fumcr.com to express interest or ask questions.
Men’s Grief Group
If you’ve experienced a loss and are looking for support in a space specifically for men, you’re invited to join Rev. Scott Luginbill for a monthly men's grief group. This group offers a supportive environment to share your experience, listen, and connect with others who are walking a similar path.
Not sure if this group is for you? Pastor Scott is happy to chat and answer any questions. Feel free to reach out to him at scott@fumcr.com.
