Care Ministries
Helping you find the tools, support, and connections to help you cope and journey toward health.
DivorceCare
Experiences of relational brokenness can leave us reeling in sorrow and isolation.
If you are walking through separation or divorce and seeking support and tools for this challenging experience, join us for 13 weeks of video material and conversation offering the insight of those who have experienced the loss of a marriage and wisdom of how to make it through.

GriefShare
If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences.

Meal Support TEam
Our meal support team offers the gift of a meal during crisis or loss. If you or your family is experiencing unexpected hospitalization, illness or loss our team can lift the burden of figuring out “what’s for dinner” to free up your time & energy to focus where you need to. Or if you have welcomed a new baby to your family, our team would love to celebrate with you by bringing you a few meals to help with those first couple of weeks.
If you would like to request meal support for yourself or a loved one, please contact our team coordinator Bev Bellamy at
bjbellamy@shaw.ca.
Visitation Team
Christ commands us to care for, support and love one another. Grief, loneliness, life transitions and illness are a few of the possible reasons a person is connected with members of the visitation team. They connect with those desiring relationships within the church.
If you or a loved one could use a phone call or a visit please contact our team co-ordinator Patti Pharo at patti.pharo@gmail.com or 403-381-2486.
