Resurrection United Methodist Church of Hastings

GriefShare
2018-09-13 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Resurrection Church, 615 15th Street West, Hastings, 55033, United States
Healing from your grief is not easy.
GriefShare is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. It’s a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences so you don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. The GriefShare group meets weekly for 13 weeks to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.
Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:
• Grief recovery videos include such topics as “Is This Normal”, “The Challenges of Grief”, “Grief and Your Relationships”, “Why”, and “Guilt and Anger”.
• Small group discussion segment allows participants to discuss how the video concepts relate to their own experiences.
• Workbook provides a video note-taking tool and a daily Bible study for personal study, journaling, and application of concepts presented on the videos.
Because this series offers “independent” subjects each week, participants may join the series at any time throughout the program. There is no cost to attend and child care will be provided for attendees if needed.
Begin attending the GriefShare group at any session.
Each is “self-contained,” so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin.

ZOE Partnership

Tina Schmidt, Midwest Director for ZOE, will be sharing the impact of this ministry at each worship service and at the all-church potluck at 11:45 a.m. on Sunday, September 16th. ZOE is a non-profit organization working to help break the cycle of extreme poverty around the world by empowering orphans and vulnerable children to become entrepreneurs who are socially, economically, and spiritually strong — transforming entire communities in the process.

If you enjoy welcoming and helping others we need your warmth and enthusiasm at the Welcome Center!

You will be provided with resources to help people find answers to their questions. The only requirement is that you love serving people with a warm and welcoming smile!
Join our remarkable usher team, volunteering with a smile at one of the various worship services. This important ministry involves directing congregants to their seats, passing the offering plates during worship & assisting with serving communion. Training is provided and opportunities to serve range from once a month to each Sunday.
Greeters provide radical hospitality to our guests by welcoming into the doors of the church. Door Greeters open the doors to our building to offer our guests a warm welcome and friendly smile. Greeters generally serve 20 minutes prior to service and 5-10 minutes after the start of service by offering a warm smile and friendly welcome to our many guests and members.
