(281-421-3935) and Sharon Gorman-Rogers (281-422-5188)
"Come unto Me, all who labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn
from me,
for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest unto your soul." Matthew 11:28-29
Walking the Mourner's Path is a Christ-centered
bereavement training
and grief support program which is offered periodically throughout the year at Trinity. The purpose of the program
is to transform grief into joyful living by offering the outstretched
hand of Jesus during bereavement.
Loss due to death is always difficult.
We invite those who have faced death and suffered the loss of a
loved one to come into our Lord's presence and experience the abundance
of His tender mercies. While we are a non-denominational ministry,
we are distinct from many other bereavement programs in that we
are
Jesus-centered, scripturally and church based. Walking the Mourner's
Path is not group therapy but is spiritually directed. We believe
grieving is not lack of faith but a natural part of living. Through
our eight week program, complete with workbook, mourners learn
ways in which they may honor their loved ones, seek spiritual direction
and discover Jesus' promise of comfort.
Walking the Mourner's Path is a unique ministry
and it differs from many ongoing "grief support groups" in that,
as research has shown, structured programs with a beginning and an
end
are far more successful. The Mourn'ers Path course consists of one
and a half hour sessions for eight consecutive weeks and limits participants.
Our first class will be limited to eight participants. Each session
has two facilitators plus a member of the clergy present.
Micki Rios and Sharon Gorman-Rogers have completed the
training as facilitators. If you are interested in participating
or know of someone who would benefit from this program please see
one of them as soon as possible. Please remember that participants
do not have to be members of Trinity. In fact, it would be a good
thing to have several denominations represented.
