Grieving Space is a monthly support group for people who have lost a loved one or who have suffered a loss of health/employment. Members of the group create a very caring and understanding environment for all who are grieving because of their own recent losses. Major changes in one's life are always followed by a period of adjustment which can often be difficult. Trying to get through these times in isolation is not necessary when others can share in your struggle and sorrow. Group support has been found to be the best way to help a person get through a difficult, sad time. You don't have to be a member of the FPCE to be a part of Grieving Space. To learn more, contact Sallie Monk or Scott Leatherberry.
In addition to the Grieving Space group, FPCE annually holds a "Blue Christmas" service during worship on a Sunday in December. The holidays can be a time of anxiety and sadness for those dealing with loss and grief, financial insecurity, difficult family situations, addictions and other less-than-merry circumstances. This quiet, contemplative service is for those who need a break from the frenzy and false cheer of the holiday season. Through music, scripture and liturgy, we seek to provide a genuinely sacred experience that reveals the deep compassion and love of God.
