Hope, When we are Grieving

About the Theme: "Hope, When we are Grieving"

"Hope When We are Grieving" is a retreat designed to help those that have suffered any type of loss.  After the loss of a spouse, child, parent, or friend, we find ourselves looking for hope and peace.  Where do we find the hope and peace that we need?  Join us as we experience ways to survive life day-by-day after our loss.  May there always be comfort in knowing that those special to us are remembered and will be forgotten.   PSALM 34:18 says,  “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
