Our next "From Grief to New Hope" 8-Week Workshop will be on Mondays,

March 10- April 28, 2025, from 6:45-8:30pm, offered in-person at Ward Church and virtually.

If you have experienced the death of a loved one, please join us for our workshop which combines the educational components of a seminar with the safety and support of a peer group. This workshop is for adults who are grieving the death of a loved one regardless of how long it has been since the loss occurred. This workshop is a safe place to express your grief and begin the healing process. Each session includes a speaker presentation for all and smaller group discussion time. These small groups are guided by facilitators who have also experienced similar losses and have traveled their own grief journey. This workshop is free, but registration is required.
