Bereavement

The goal of the Bereavement Ministry is to help provide prayers, support & to express our deepest condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.

Making arrangements for the funeral of a loved can put an excess burden on the family. Our churches offer a bereavement service to the family at this difficult time. Each group helps to furnish food and/or refreshments to the family after the funeral. The family meets with the church staff to make funeral arrangements. At this time the bereavement ministry is explained to the family. The family is asked if they would like to have the designated bereavement team help with furnishing small dishes of food and/or refreshments. If they agree, the church staff contacts the group leader. The family is responsible for providing the meal, utensils, ice, paper goods and drinks. The family is also responsible for having someone at hall or residence to receive and serve food. The family is also responsible for hall clean up.
