"Grieving Together" Small Group

This group is for anyone who is walking through a period of darkness in their life, whether from losing a loved one, divorce, serious illness, major life disappointment, or crisis of faith. If you are walking through a season of darkness, this group offers gentle and nourishing support for that journey.

This group will meet on Wednesday evenings for 6 weeks plus an extra session for processing our loss through creative expression. We will be using the book, A Midwinter God: Encountering the Divine in Seasons of Darkness by Christine Valters Paintner, who speaks from both personal experience and professional practice about loss, grief, and suffering.

Led by:
Trained Spiritual Director Celeste Boudreaux and Licensed Professional Counselor Keith Boudreaux

Purchasing a Book is encouraged but not required.
