Bereavement Support Program
Christ the King Parish offers a Bereavement Support Group for those in the early stage of grief. We meet for 10 weeks in the Spring and Fall usually on a Wednesday from 2 – 4 pm in Fr. Crawford Hall at the Church of the Incarnation of Christ the King Parish. Our Fall session begins on Wednesday, September 16th. Our lessons are centered around The New Day Journal. Together we pray, read from scripture and journey down the path of grief together through discussion, laughter and tears in a most caring and gentle way. You will find comfort sharing your grief experience with others who are also dealing with the loss of a loved one. Join us! Please call the rectory for more information at (860) 529-2545. Facilitators are Deacon Keith Griffin & Pastoral Minister Audrey Saharek.
