DESCRIPTION:<h2 style="text-align: center;">This event is postponed.</h2>
Communities of faith can provide invaluable social, spiritual, and emotional support to grieving members of their congregation. In this workshop, we will take an in-depth look at this relationship of care.

What kinds of support can a church community provide? What are the uniquely spiritual or religious concerns that may arise in a person's grief? How do we recognize the need for more professional help than we can provide? How can we care for ourselves or other members of our grief ministry as we sit with others in their pain?

This interactive conversation will include a discussion of concrete scenarios and time to explore any questions you may be facing in your ministry.
