Visit FAITH & GRIEF to register for an upcoming session and receive location/Zoom details.

Faith & Grief offers a wealth of resources on grieving, including workshops, retreats, podcasts, devotionals, and book lists. For the past six years, Faith & Grief has sponsored Memorial Arch at Klyde Warren Park with names of lost loved ones written on ribbons and tied on the arch.  

Faith & Grief is a local non-profit that was begun in 2008 to offer help, hope, comfort, and encouragement to those who have lost a loved one. FUMCR Caring Ministry has entered a covenant agreement with Faith & Grief and three area churches (Arapaho UMC, Preston Hollow Presbyterian, and Canyon Creek Presbyterian) to provide year-round, ongoing support for grieving persons. 

Help for Hurting Hearts 

A 6-week grief recovery seminar for those experiencing grief

We recognize that grief and loss come in all forms. While most will be grieving the loss of a loved one, this class is open to all who have experienced a significant loss, and especially during these challenging times. Practical information about the grief journey, including coping techniques and theories on grief will be shared, and participants will have the opportunity to share about the losses they have experienced. 

Next In-Person Session: Dates TBD
