Support Groups
First Lutheran Church is connected to several support groups including:

Grieving Parents Support Group
3rd Tuesday Monthly | 6:30-7:45pm | First Lutheran Church
The loss of a child is life-changing and can make you feel alone and unsupported. This group is an opportunity for parents who have los a child/children of any age come together to support each other in conversation, education, and faith growth as we express our grief and share memories of our loved ones in a safe environment. You do not need to be a member to attend – all are welcome. If you have any questions, please contact Pam Miller.

Grief Support Group
4th Tuesday Monthly | 10:00-11:00am | First Lutheran Church
All of us, at one time or another during our lives, will experience the death of a much-loved friend, partner, or family member. How we manage that loss is different for every person. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. If you are struggling with the loss of a loved one, let others support and walk beside you.

Stronger Together Support Group
2nd Tuesday Monthly | 2:00-3:00pm | First Lutheran Church
This group is open to all members of First Lutheran, focusing on all types of caregivers from all walks of life. The person you care for can be in your home, their home, or a community living facility. The purpose of this group is to provide education, support, and resources to those providing care for loved ones. No registration is necessary!

Parkinson’s Disease Support Group
