About this sermon
Friendship-West Bereavement Ministry, under the leadership of Rev. Thomas H. Garner, serves members and the community around the clock. It's not just a ministry, it is a way of life. Serving a bereaved family involves providing a consistent, non-judgmental presence, listening with empathy, and offering specific, practical help, such as meals or childcare, rather than empty, general offers. Key actions include respecting their unique, long-term grieving process and maintaining support long after the funeral services have concluded. It is important to remember that you cannot remove their pain, but your compassion and presence can provide comfort.
