AGAPE GRIEF SUPPORT

chapelcrossThere are four ways we can help you face loss. These include:

  • Arrange for Pastor visits at home and in care facilities, including grief and loss conversations
  • Individual consultations with our funeral coordinator and pastors to plan the service
  • Fellowship meals on the day of the funeral, provided by our volunteer AGAPE team
  • Confidential prayers through the congregation’s prayer chain

CARE TEAMS

kidsCare Teams are thoughtful, generous Countryside members who provide various types of comfort or assistance to those who are experiencing times of hardship. These include:

Support during times of transition, including meals, new baby gifts, prayer shawls, and cards.

Visits or calls by a congregational care volunteer.

You may choose to serve on one of these teams and/or receive care from one of these teams. In either case, please contact the church office at 402.391.0350 or office@countrysideucc.org. We want to help you in challenging times and remind you that you’re a valuable part of our faith community.

PASTORAL CARE OUTREACH

Our pastors are available for visits and email or phone conversations regarding loss, stress, and difficult life experiences. We also have a Stephen Ministry program (see below) with many caring Stephen Ministers available to walk with you on whatever journey you are on. You may also need the prayers of the congregation during these times. Contact the church office at 402.391.0350 or office@countrysideucc.org to set up a meeting with a pastor or to be paired with a Stephen Minister.
