Journeying With Grief Support Group

1st Sunday of Each Month (January, 2010 through May, 2010)  2:00 - 3:30 pm  Parlor

As you journey,  join with others in sharing your memories of your loved one and your loss.  Here is an opportunity to express in a like group of caring Christians your feelings, challenges, and accomplishments.  These monthly meetings are for anyone who is going through the "Wilderness of Grief."  The support group is an opportunity for remembering and encouragement.  You do not need to sign up, you are welcome at anytime to come.

The Adult Ministry at Edenton Street United Methodist Church provides support and guidance for adults by assisting with and creating ministry and program opportunities to increase understanding of Christ’s love for us and our service as the body of Christ.

Our programs listed below fall into two main categories, Bereavement ministries and Adult Enrichment Programs.

Bereavement Ministries

Bereavement Services Network - Raise awareness of the resources and services the church and community can provide for those who are or have experienced a loss, and provide hands-on information for those ministering to the bereaved.

Grief Support Group - A Christian-centered, confidential and nurturing atmosphere to share feelings of grief and stories about their loved-ones, as well as hear from others who are or have experienced similar situations. (1 st Sunday of month, 2:00 PM, Parlor - check calendar for holiday exceptions)

Adult Enrichment Programs

Divorce Care - Support group for those who are or have experienced separation and/or divorce. For information contact John and Ginny Jordan at (919)461-9905 or email.

Enrichment Workshops/Seminars - Provide adults with informational and formational workshops and seminars in the areas of spiritual and personal growth.  These will focus on the church, family, and community concerns (i.e. the changing work paradigm, the Baby Boomers impact on culture and society, the Sandwich generation, being single in today’s society and church, financial planning for women.)

SALT Shakers (Single Adult Ladies Dining Together)  – Multiple small groups of single female adults (separated, divorced, widowed or single) with the purpose of providing an environment of Christian fellowship, networking and support through monthly lunches or dinners

Urban Ministries Food Pantry - Each month different food selections are suggested for donations to the Urban Minbistries Food Pantry.  Collection bins are located on each floor of the education building and in the Poindexter lobby.  This is a joint ministry between Adult Ministries Team and Missions. Additional information may be found on the Missions webpage.  In 2009 over 8000 pounds of food was collected compared to the previous year of over 1000 pounds.  This ongoing outreach ministry serves the hungry in our community.
