Grieving with Hope

Grieving with Hope

Grieving with Hope comforts those who have lost a loved one and struggle with the pain and devastation of death. It invites them to trust in him who is the Resurrection and the Life.

We accompany those who grieve and offer support and empathy as they process their loss and learn what the Bible says about eternal life in Christ.

    Widows Connection provides a safe space for widows to encourage, equip, and engage with one another through the instruction of the Word of God and our experiences in widowhood.

    All widows are invited to join us for our three Sunday gatherings this fall. These gatherings are provided at no cost and are open to the community, so mark your calendar and feel free to bring a friend!
