Walking the Mourner’s Path

When someone in our life dies, it affects our entire being. Twice a year, St. John’s offers “Walking the Mourner’s Path,” a six- to eight-week grief support program that is grounded in prayer and reminds us that we are not alone in our grief. In fall 2023, we will be offering this program in partnership with Holy Comforter Episcopal Church.

If you have lost a loved one and have walked the path of grief over the past year or years, “Walking the Mourner’s Path” may be what you need. Open to St. John’s and Holy Comforter members and the community alike, the program gathers participants for a series of small-group workshops. It’s different than a Sunday morning faith formation program, but the format allows time for being still together, sharing stories, and seeing where God is in our grief and in our hope.
