your feelings is essential, yet each person must find ways of expression,
but also maintain a sense of balance.
At Church & Community we understand how important the support and
care of your family and friends are at a time of loss. We also know
that many times a person needs additional assistance. We are always
on hand to help you through the process by providing you with
resources and information related to support groups.

Our community provides many churches and organizations that offer assistance
to those in need. Below you will find a partial directory of organizations
