SUPPORT GROUP Grief is a deeply personal journey, but you do not have to walk it alone. Whether you have recently experienced a loss or have been carrying grief for some time, we invite you to join our Grief Support Group. This supportive gathering provides a safe space to share experiences, find encouragement, connect with others who understand, and gain practical tools for navigating the challenges of grief. The first meeting will be held on October 27 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Following the initial session, the group will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. You are welcome to attend whether this is your first step in the grieving process or you have been on this journey for years. For additional information, please contact Pastor Patrick at 270-843-4707 or patrick.lane@bgpres.org.
