Prayer
It makes a difference.
We believe that prayer makes a difference. It connects us to God and one another. Whether you want someone to pray for you, need a sacred space to pray, or want to pray for others, we are here to support you.
Congregational Care Team
We seek to inspire our community to become the hands and feet of Christ—for one another and for those outside the church walls. St. Andrew clergy, in partnership with Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs) and other members of the Care Team work together to serve and support those in our community through hospitalizations, grief, crisis, difficulties associated with aging, end of life, divorce, loss of a job, and other challenges that come to us in the course of our lives. The Care Team offers visitation, phone/email support, provides support for families at memorials, works with clergy to triage care needs, and so much more. If you would like to know more about the Care Team at St. Andrew contact us.

Supporting Kids through Family Loss and Transition. This six-week program is offered twice yearly to help support kids through family loss and transition. Good Grief is offered at no cost, is not faith-based, and is open to the community. Includes optional parent/guardian support group for those interested.
From our participants:
“It really is hard to express how precious Good Grief is to us. It has helped us all individually, but also to grieve as a family together. We have a lot of tools now to talk through things and give space for our feelings, emotions and grief.” –Good Grief Parent
“A few of the most important things I have learned in Good Grief is that it is okay to feel what I feel, and how to take care of my feelings.” –7th Grade Participant

Widows/Widowers Walking Together
Navigating Life After the Loss of a Spouse or Partner
First Tuesdays Monthly | 1–3 pm
In the Wake of Loss…
When someone loses a spouse or partner, the questions come quickly:
What happened? Why?
What do I do now?
When will this pain ease?
Who am I without them?
Will I ever feel steady again?
If these questions feel familiar, you’re not alone.
Walking Together
Our grief support group meets twice a month, once during the day and once in the evening,
to offer comfort, companionship, and community.
Offered by the Congregational Care Ministry at St. Andrew UMC, this group is open to anyone
navigating life after the loss of a spouse or partner. Whether your grief is fresh or you’ve been
living with it for years, you are welcome here.
Come as you are. Bring your questions. You don’t have to walk this road alone.
