DISCIPLE BIBLE STUDY GROUPS START IN AUGUST

Looking for an opportunity where you can serve and meet new people at the same time? Maybe you want to strengthen faith filled relationships you’ve already established at St. Luke’s. We are partnering with the Disciple 1 Study App and launching 20 groups in August and are looking for leaders and participants for this hybrid style course. For more information go to stlukesumc.com/disciple

DEMENTIA CAREGIVERS SUPPORT GROUP

AUGUST 1 FROM 6-7:30PM - NORTH INDY

This support group serves caregivers of those affected by memory loss. Members of the church and community are welcome to gather to find loving support, share resources, and encouragement along their journey caring for loved ones in any capacity (whether at home, in care facility, or from a distance). Both facilitators of this support group are church members and have been trained by the Alzheimer’s Association. stlukesumc.com/care

GRIEF SHARE

AUGUST 2 - OCTOBER 25

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 12-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. Register online for one of two times offered this fall: stlukesumc.com/care

PARENTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS SUPPORT GROUP

AUGUST 13 FROM 12:30-2PM - NORTH INDY

We are never meant to walk life’s journey alone. Joys and challenges often come to us in unanticipated ways and we want to walk alongside you through all of the ups, downs, and in-betweens. This group is for parents and caretakers of kids, youth, and adults with special needs. Please register at stlukesumc.com/specialneeds.
