CARING MINISTRIES

GriefShare
6:30 pm, Wednesdays through April 4, 2012

GriefShare is a supportive and caring group for those that have lost a loved one. This group meets in the lounge on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm for 13 weeks, but each session is "self-contained," so one does not have to attend in sequence.

GriefShare sessions are designed to help participants to successfully travel their journeys from mourning into joy. Each session will include a video seminar and group discussion. A GriefShare workbook will assist with note taking, journaling, and grief study. Our group is led by Jan Boehlke and Carolyn Thompson.

Contact Parish Nurse, Kathy Rosenberg, if you have questions, or wish to register for the GriefShare class by calling 763-788-9427.


Mom's Group
For February only – we are going to try something new – Moms’ group (and Dads are included!) will be meeting on first and third Saturdays (instead of First and Third Wednesdays). We will meet in the St. Matthew gym for open gym time 10:30-11:30am. Moms and Dads are welcome with their young children. All children must be accompanied by their parent(s).

Cancer Support Group
This support group meets the first Thursday of the month from 10:00-11:30 am in the Lounge. Anyone with a Cancer diagnosis is welcome. We provide fellowship, support, devotion, and prayer. Please join us or call Kathy Rosenberg if you have any questions.
