Support Groups

"Good Grief"

Grief is a deeply personal and an ongoing part of life. We believe that by coming together with others who are grieving and sharing common feelings and experiences, we begin to move forward with grief in a healthy way.PHPC’s grief support group, “Good Grief,” is offered periodically throughout the year. These sessions are on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Rev. Mark Brainerd and Mahlon Hight lead the weekly sessions and all materials are provided.

For more information, contact Mahlon Hight at mhight@phpc.org. You may register and pay for the upcoming Good Grief support group using the button below.

Grief is a part of life and the timing of events may not align with our seasonal Good Grief series. Please contact Mahlon Hight at mhight@phpc.org or extension 118 in the church office and she will be happy to refer you to additional trusted resources.

The Long Road

Do you have a loved one who has received a diagnosis of Dementia/Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s? Are you a caregiver or perhaps attempting to coordinate care for this person? Perhaps you feel like you are alone in this endeavor, or are baffled, maybe frustrated with navigating all the things required to provide care for your loved one.

The Care Ministry at PHPC offers an ongoing support group aimed at providing community, relief, information, and fun for people who are caregivers for loved ones with these challenging diagnoses. Our gatherings happen on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. in the Parlor. A light snack supper is served and we enjoy fellowship from 6 to 6:30. We then break into two groups, one for Dementia/Alzheimer’s caregivers and one for Parkinson’s caregivers. Since these diseases affect all ages and stages, this group welcomes everyone. Please contact Mahlon Hight, mhight@phpc.org with questions.

Addiction Support

If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction, help is available. Members in our faith community have offered to provide support as a conversation partner or sponsor. Contact Rev. Mark Brainerd (mbrainerd@phpc.org or 214.368.6348 x134) for a confidential referral.

Senior Adults

Senior Adult Ministry

We have a large vibrant group of Senior Adults here at PHPC and we strive to offer a variety of experiences that address the continuing need for fun, fellowship, spiritual growth and faith development. Throughout the year we offer opportunities at PHPC as well as offsite. Information and registration will be posted on our website.
