The Bereavement Ministry is a small group of people who understand the heartache and difficulty of coping with the loss of a loved one. We first acknowledge the loss by sending a card to parishioners who have experienced a death in their family. We offer our sympathy and let them know that grief support is available.
Finally, the Bereavement Ministry arranges the annual Memorial Service that is held each November. This is a prayer service during which we remember, pray for, and celebrate the memory and New Life of the loved ones we have lost over the years.
The Prayer Shawl Ministry, is another expression of the Parish’s desire to offer comfort, support and prayers for the bereaved.
