GRIEF CARE
If you have lost a loved one in the last year, these groups are an encouraging community for those on the road of grief. While no one experiences grief in the same way, there is great insight in connecting with others on the same path. Using readings and discussion, we will have space to share and learn together.

DIVORCE CARE
Navigating divorce and life after can be so challenging, and this community of friendships includes great encouragement and tools for life. Each session, led by Monica Harbarger and Becca Paul with United Counseling Services, includes a video presentation and a group discussion on topics including healing, finances, children and forgiveness.
