Men’s Grief Group
If you’ve experienced a loss and are looking for support in a space specifically for men, you’re invited to join Rev. Scott Luginbill for a monthly men's grief group. This group offers a supportive environment to share your experience, listen, and connect with others who are walking a similar path.
Not sure if this group is for you? Pastor Scott is happy to chat and answer any questions. Feel free to reach out to him at scott@fumcr.com.
