At St. David the King, we recognize that losing someone dear can deeply affect our hearts and our lives. Grief often brings feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, and feeling overwhelmed — but no one should have to walk alone. As a faith-filled community, we’re here to lift one another up, offering comfort through the love of Jesus, who is our refuge and strength.
We warmly invite anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one to join us for a five-week series called “You’re Not Alone: The Journey Begins.” Together, we’ll explore how grief touches our lives. Each session welcomes sharing, reflection, and connection—with no preparation needed.
This series is especially helpful for those who’ve experienced loss 3 to 18 months ago.
We’re keeping the group small — about eight people — so everyone has space to connect and feel supported. Because the group grows close over the five weeks, we ask participants to commit to attending all five sessions so the experience feels consistent for everyone.
Upcoming Sessions:
Loss and Grief – The Journey Begins (Fall 2026)
- Saturday Mornings from 10:30 to 12 Noon in the Spiritual Reading Room
- Saturday, October 17, 24, 31 and November 7 and 14, 2026
Loss and Grief – The Journey Begins (Spring 2027)
- Saturday Mornings from 10:30 to 12 Noon in the Spiritual Reading Room
- Saturday, April 3, 10, 17, 24 and May 1, 2027

For all who have lost a loved one, we pray:
Jesus, you said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Lord, for those who are mourning, please send them your comfort now. Wrap your arms around them and hold them tight. Send angels of mercy to them. Shower them with comfort. Lift them up and give them hope once more. Help them to believe that tomorrow will be better and the next day will be easier. Amen.”
