BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT MINISTRY
Few people can understand the deep hurt and pain, the confusion, the sense of isolation, and the questions that abound after the loss of a loved one. This is where our Bereavement Support Ministry at Harvestime Church of God comes in. Grief sharing at Harvestime is a Christ-centered supportive environment for people who are grieving. We provide a venue for healing. This ministry is open to anyone who has lost a spouse, family member, friend or co-worker. We help you face the challenges and move you toward establishing a “new normal” life following the loss.
We are a support group reaching out to those who have lost loved ones. We create an atmosphere of love, caring, sharing and understanding. We provide spiritual guidance as we walk with you during your time of grief.
The mission of our Bereavement Support Ministry at Harvestime Church of God is to be a source of love, care, and support to those who grieve the loss of a loved one through death. We work to reach out to those who experience loss, so they will feel the healing comfort of God through this faith-based community.
The Bereavement Ministry has a heart for the hurting! We represent Christ’s caring for people – through people.
