Living With Cancer
People who have been diagnosed with cancer sometimes find that having a confidential place to discuss some of the many challenges that accompany the illness can be invaluable. Attention will be given to the impact on the whole person: mind, body and spirit. We will also discuss aspects of spiritual and physical fatigue.
TBA - 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
The Unwanted Gift of Grief
This four-part series on grief will address the physical, mental, relational and spiritual dimensions of grief and mourning. The natural human tendency is to resist the pain; however, growth can happen when one walks through the wilderness of grief. Using Dr. Tim VanDuivendyk’s book, The Unwanted Gift of Grief: A Ministry Approach, we will pay particular attention to the variety of faith aspects of loss.

Hope for Grieving Children provides a safe and supportive environment where children grieving a death can share their experiences with each other. This program offers a unique opportunity for children to begin and continue their journey as they move through the healing process. This program also extends supportive services to family, caregivers, schools and the community.
The Hope for Grieving Children program believes every child deserves the opportunity to grieve in a supportive and understanding environment.
The program encourages the expression of grief experience verbally and through creative positive play within a peer group setting. The groups are open to grieving children ages 4 to 16.
