Grief Support Group: A Break in the Clouds
Grief is a normal and natural reaction to loss. It is a journey that we may not choose or be ready for. But the journey finds us whether we are prepared or not. You are invited to an interactive discussion group to explore grief causes, feelings, symptoms and strategies. The journey may be difficult at times, but you do not have to experience it alone.
Led by Nancy Bertuleit, LPCC and Stephen Minister
Sundays 2-3:30pm in the B. Oliver room

The GAP
Your story, your family, and your faith are valued here. We stand in The GAP together. The GAP invites parents and guardians of LGBTQ youth to come together to share stories, support each other, and work to explore how we can love and support our loved ones and live out our faith. This is a confidential space where it is understood that we have an array of feelings and understandings of Scripture and faith, and what it looks like to live that out. We focus on two things: love of God and loving our families well. Contact Amy Jarboe for more information at AJarboe@BroadwayUnited.org.
