Weekly sessions from Friday March 11 – Friday April 22 from 7:30-9 p.m.

Are you a bereaved parent who has experienced infant loss during pregnancy? Do you want to connect with other infant loss families in a faith-based support group?

Seasons of Hope is a free 6-week faith-based support group that will take place over Zoom, allowing participants to connect from the safety and comfort of their homes. The sessions are meant to offer bereaved parents a sense of community and connection as they process and find healing post-loss. There will offer opportunities for sharing, prayer, Bible reflections and fellowship. All are welcome; no matter how many years have passed or how early in pregnancy your loss was, every life matters.
