The Bereaved

Footprints

Footprints is our monthly group for those who have been bereaved or suffered other loss. We meet in The Barn every second Tuesday of the month at 10:30am, with tea and coffee, biscuits and homemade cake, and sometimes have a short relevant talk. Everyone in the group is experiencing loss; Footprints offers friendship, understanding and gentle support.

Pastoral Prayer Ministry offers a listening service for you to share what is on your mind. Trained and experienced team members will support you either once, or over a few sessions to listen and offer more in-depth prayer in a confidential space. Prayer and chat over the phone are also available or we are happy to meet up at the café and listen over a coffee.
