Support Groups
There are times when we're hurting and need to connect with others who are going through, or who have gone through, similar circumstances. Our support groups are safe places for you to find comfort, support, and healing. We have several ministries and resources in place that we hope will be helpful.
AA/SOBER MAMAS

ALZHEIMER'S SUPPORT GROUP
Do you feel overwhelmed by your caregiving responsibilities and need help and respite? Be encircled by other caregivers with support at this monthly online gathering. This MUMC-sponsored group meets on the 4th Monday of each month (7:00-8:30 pm) on Zoom.
ALZHEIMER'S CAREGIVERS TIME OUT
Respite time for you while your loved one is cared for by others on the third Tuesday of the month from 11:00 am - 2:30 pm. Link to more information and registration.
GRIEFSHARE
This online group provides help and encouragement after the death of a spouse, child, family member, or friend. This will provide the care you need and provide the information you can trust. After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to normal lives. Friends and family want to help but don't know how. We understand because we have been in the same place and will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future. This process is led by the GriefShare Team and you may participate in GriefShare any time. Check out our schedule and register for upcoming groups, then you will receive access to the GriefShare videos and an email with a link to the online group.
MENTAL HEALTH
Our Hope for Minds & Hearts ministry offers Christian fellowship to support individuals in our community impacted by mental health challenges. Designed to provide hope, knowledge, and prayers in a caring and safe environment, groups for both families who support a loved one and individuals who live with mental health challenges are on Monday nights and welcomes people to join anytime. The group breaks for summer. Watch our event: Transforming Minds: The Church's Role in Mental Illness
