SUMMARY:Grief to Peace
DESCRIPTION:Grief to Peace\nGrief can change the way we see the world. When you’re grieving the loss of someone you love\, you may find yourself carrying emotions\, questions\, and experiences that are difficult to navigate alone. Grief to Peace is a six-week support group at Floris designed to provide a caring space for those walking through grief and seeking hope\, connection\, and peace. \nBeginning October 14\, this weekly group will bring people together to share\, listen\, reflect\, and explore faith in the midst of loss. Whether your grief is recent or you’ve been carrying it for some time\, you are welcome. \nA Place to Grieve Together\nGrief doesn’t follow a predictable timeline\, and there is no single right way to experience it. Grief to Peace offers an opportunity to connect with others who understand the challenges of losing someone important. \nEach gathering incorporates: \n\nScripture study to explore faith and hope in the midst of grief\nWhole-group discussion and opportunities to listen and connect\nPersonal sharing for those who feel comfortable participating\nPrayer and space for reflection\n\nYou are never required to share more than you’re comfortable sharing. Sometimes simply being in a room with others who understand can be meaningful. \nFinding Hope in the Journey\nGrief can feel isolating\, but you don’t have to walk through it alone. Together\, we’ll create space for honest conversations about loss while exploring the ways faith can offer comfort\, strength\, and hope. \nThis group isn’t about rushing through grief or finding quick answers. It’s about making room for the experience of loss while being supported by a caring community. \nOver six weeks\, participants will have the opportunity to build connections\, reflect on their experiences\, and explore what it means to move toward peace while continuing to honor the people and relationships they have lost. \nJoin Us This Fall\nGrief to Peace meets Wednesdays from 7–8:30 p.m.\, October 14 through November 18\, 2026\, at Floris UMC. \nThe group is limited to a small number of participants to help create an environment where meaningful connection and conversation can take place. Registration is required. \nIf you or someone you know is grieving the loss of a loved one\, we invite you to take this step toward connection and support. \nYou don’t have to have everything figured out. You simply have to show up. \nCome as you are. Grieve together. Find connection. Explore hope. Move toward peace. \nRegister for Grief to Peace\nRegistration is open through October 16\, 2026. There is no cost to participate. \nRegister Here >
