Don't Do This Alone

Finding Light in the Darkness: Support for the Grieving This Holiday Season

The holiday season, so often filled with joy and celebration, can feel especially heavy for those who are grieving. If you’re walking through the pain of loss, know this: you are not alone. This year, we invite you to three special opportunities designed to offer you comfort, connection, and hope.


GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays

On Saturday, November 8th from 10:00 am to noon in the Large Conference Room, we will host a GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays workshop. This supportive, faith-based gathering offers practical tools, encouragement, and a safe space to prepare for the emotional challenges of the season. Whether your loss is recent or years past, this time can be difficult — but you don’t have to face it alone. Register for FREE here.


Weekly Grief Support Group

Every Tuesday at 4:00 pm, our Grief Support Group meets in the Large Conference Room. These weekly gatherings provide a consistent place to share, listen, and be heard among others who truly understand the journey of grief. Each session offers gentle strength and reassurance: healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means not having to carry the pain by yourself.


Blue Christmas Worship Service

On Sunday evening, December 21st at 5:00 pm, we invite you to a Blue Christmas worship service in the sanctuary — a quiet, reflective space for those experiencing sorrow, loss, or loneliness during the holidays. This meaningful service embraces the reality that not everyone feels festive this time of year. Come as you are. Tears are welcome.


If your heart is heavy this season, we are here. Join us. There is room for your grief, and hope is still possible.
