Hope and Help for All
***Our summer grief group has concluded. Check back in 2025 for info on our next session.
Grief is a journey that shouldn’t be traveled alone. While your grief journey is unique, you’ll find many grieving people are facing the same struggles.
This holiday season First Christian Church will be hosting a two-session support group for any and all in our community who are experiencing loss. You need not be a member of our church (or any church) to join - we want this group to be a safe space for people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Whether you’re dealing with the death of a loved one or the loss of a close relationship, whether your loss is recent or distant, all are welcome.
The group will meet once in November and once in December (dates TBD) at First Christian Church (1806 Central Avenue).
FAQs
What if I can’t attend every meeting? That’s okay! We understand schedules are busy. Even one meeting may be helpful. Each meeting is self-contained and will cover a different topic related to grief. We plan to offer this group regularly, so if you miss a meeting, you can always make it up the next time around.
What if I can’t make the first meeting? Again, that’s perfectly fine!
Will it cost anything? No. We are offering this group as a resource to our community free of charge. All handouts and materials will be provided.
Who will be leading the group? The group will be facilitated by Corey Harrison, FCC’s pastor. During the week, Corey works full-time with the families of hospice patients and is well-acquainted with the grieving process. However, the group is designed to be participatory. The “leader” is merely a facilitator. In sharing their own experiences, group members will have the chance to support each other.
Can I bring a friend or family member? If you’d feel more comfortable having a trusted person by your side, you are welcome to bring them along, even if they aren’t themselves grieving.
