Grief Support
Care and Support Ministry
Our Care and Support Ministry has specially trained layperson's who enter into caring relationships with people who are going through a difficult time. Our Care and Support ministers have gone through the Befriender Ministry training program and maintain a strict policy of confidentiality. We are willing to visit people who are experiencing difficulties such as:
- going through a marital separation or divorce
- coping with a disability
- being seriously ill, hospitalized or homebound
- feeling lonely or depressed
- welcoming a new child through birth or adoption
- grieving the loss of a spouse, parent, child or other loved one
- a job loss, career transition or relocation
- empty nest or retirement
- providing home care for a loved one
