Avoid being blindsided. In the wake of grief and loss, get focused help to face new struggles during Thanksgiving and Christmastime.
The holidays can be confusing, and you may feel isolated with many questions about things you’ve never faced before. It’s a time when difficult emotions hit even harder. You CAN be more prepared and more intentional, and gain wisdom and insight while still dealing with the heartache and sorrow of your loss.
Our Surviving the Holidays 2025 seminar is especially for people who are grieving the death of a spouse, child, family member or friend. Join us Sunday, October 19 from 3:00-5:00pm in the Community Center Room 120. No childcare. $10.00 at the door (correct cash or check payable to RCC). To sign up, email George & Donna at georgebuell1975@gmail.com or call the Church Office at 661-589-9733 x222.
Loss of a Spouse seminar is 10/5/25. A Remembrance Service is offered every December.
The next GriefShare series begins in January, 2026.
