Grief Care Seminars

Our Grief Care seminars are designed to provide education for awareness of the signs of grief, methods for coping, and a non-judgmental support group. This class accommodates large groups who discover the dynamics of grief then break out into smaller groups to support one another in each other's loss. Each seminar consists of six weekly sessions on a variety of topics. Grief Care seminars are designed to provide education for awareness of the signs of grief, coping methods, and a nonjudgmental support group. To view our brochure, click here.

Faith and Grief Luncheon

On the third Wednesday of every month, PHPC, in conjunction with Faith Presbyterian Hospice, hosts a Faith and Grief Luncheon. These luncheons allow those going through the grieving process to circle together and be strengthened by food, Scripture, prayers, and reflection.

If you are mourning the death of a loved one, we invite you to attend. The luncheons are free and open to the public; however, reservations are required by the third Monday of each month.

To register, call 214-699-4709, or register online here. 

Luncheons are from noon to 1 p.m. in Jubilee Hall.
