Ministry Outreach: Caring Ministries
Grief Share Ministry
Healing from a loss is not easy. The Grief Share group is designed to help you recover from the deep hurt that comes with the loss of someone close to you.
Your Grief Share experience includes three key elements to help you in the healing process:
- VIDEO
At each session you will view a video on an issue related to grief and loss. These videos feature top experts on a variety of subjects important to the grief recovery process. On each video, you’ll also hear the personal stories of people like you who have been through grieving experiences. 
SUPPORT GROUP
After the video, you will become part of a small support group. Your group will discuss what was seen on the video and what is going on in your lives. It is very likely that you will begin to see the people in your group as “family.” In addition to discussing the video we will take time to “catch up” on the trials, problems and successes experienced by group members between each session.- BETWEEN SESSIONS
You’ll have the opportunity to work through the "On Your Own" section of a workbook. It will lead you to some relevant and practical sections of the Bible and guide you through a personal evaluation of how these verses apply directly to your situation. This material can make a real difference in your recovery, and we encourage you to spend a little time each day on it.
FOUNDATION FOR HEALING
Throughout the Grief Share videos, you will hear people talking about the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ in healing from the deep pain of grief. In fact, you will hear it said that you cannot fully heal from grief without the power of Christ in your life.
WHEN DO THE GRIEF SHARE GROUPS MEET?
We meet at St. Luke's church in room 102 of the Schneider Education Center on Mondays at 6:30 PM or Thursdays at 10:00 AM. If you or someone you know could benefit from this class, or if you desire more information, please call Deacon Jim Johnston at 423-5990.
Divorce Care Recovery Support Group
Learn how to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to rebuilding your life. Divorce Care features biblical teaching for recovering from divorce and separation.
Marriages within our churches are breaking up, leaving a trail of hurting families and congregations that struggle to find the right response. People hurting from divorce and separation are showing up at churches, seeking help and healing from their pain.
We, at St. Luke's, are inviting you to Divorce Care. Divorce Care emphasizes that real
healing from the intense pain of divorce must begin with a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ.
