Whether you’re parenting little ones, teenagers, or even adult children, we’d love for you to join us for worship, prayer, and meaningful conversation with others walking the same road.

The holidays can bring a lot of hard moments — and if you’ve lost someone you love, the sights, smells, traditions and social gatherings may feel heavier than ever. At Christ Presbyterian Church, we want you to know: you’re not alone.
We’re hosting a special gathering called “Surviving the Holidays”, based on the helpful, honest ministry from GriefShare. It’s designed for anyone facing grief during the season — whether your loss is recent or has been with you for years. You’ll hear real stories of hope, find practical coping tips, and have a gentle, safe space to share or simply listen.
When: Wednesday, November 12th from 6:30-8 p.m.
Where: Conference Room
Cost: Free, all are welcome.
RSVP here.
Why come? Because you deserve comfort, connection and care. Because even when grief is lonely, you don’t have to walk it alone. Because this church family cares deeply about you and the sacred truth that Christ meets us in our loss and our longing.
Join us. Let’s sit together, before the rush begins, to breathe, to remember, to find strength, and to move forward with hope — one gentle step at a time.

Whether we are single, married, raising children, working outside the home, walking through loss, or enjoying a new season, what unites us is that we walk with the same faithful God who invites us to find joy in him along the way.
