Grieving?

Or Know Someone Who Is?

Grieving the loss of a loved one is a personal journey; unfortunately, it is often also a lonely journey. FUMCR offers several avenues to help participants navigate grief. Studies show, “If you don’t deal with grief, grief will deal with you.” In addition to emotional distress, unacknowledged grief can affect the body in negative ways such as aches and pains, gut issues, an impaired immune system, and disrupted sleep patterns. Our hope at FUMCR is that our classes will offer safe places to process losses with others who are experiencing grief as well.

All seminars and groups are open to the community. You may know someone who could benefit.

Whether they chose to teach, serve in caring ministry, participate in missions, share their musical talents, or simply be present for worship, the many clergy who chose to call FUMCR home in the season after appointed ministry are a blessing to us. We’re delighted to share a small part of their stories – proud moments in ministry, earned wisdom, and reasons for hope.
