Chronic Illness Ministry
Serious illness presents both spiritual and medical challenges. The Chronic Illness Support Group includes individuals with long-term or chronic diseases. They meet monthly for sharing, support, and prayer. Check the church calendar for meeting times.
Caregivers Support Group
Caring for a family member who is ill or disabled presents challenges for caregivers. This support group meets on the second Friday of the month at Grace, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Led by parish nurse MaryBeth Buschmann, participants in this group learn to reduce stress, communicate feelings, locate helpful resources, and find balance in their lives.
