For ministers interested in establishing or expanding a grief ministry, “A Necessary Grief: Essential Tools for Leadership in Bereavement Ministry” may be a good place to start.
The April 28 workshop will be held at Brookdale University Park across from Samford University in Birmingham from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is co-sponsored by Dignity Memorial/Ridout’s Valley Chapel.
Through two sessions, participants will learn how to serve in practical ways and will be given tools for dealing with grief’s difficult questions.
Co-facilitated by Steve Sweatt, LPC/LMFT and clinical director of Community Grief Support (CGS), and Larry J. Michael, pastor for adult ministries and parish associate at South Highland Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, the workshop will focus on models of grief and how grief impacts survivors.
A complimentary breakfast and lunch will be provided. To register, call 205-870-8667 or email communitygriefsu@bellsouth.net.
