One in ten people over age 65 live with Alzheimer’s disease today and this number is on the rise. Of course, this includes members of our church family and our community. Most of us know multiple people affected by Alzheimer’s.

We offer two monthly in-person support group times for caregivers of a loved one with Alzheimer’s meeting in person at MRCC. Caregivers are welcome to attend both or either of these times:
The first Tuesday evening of the month, 6:30-8:00 in A119 (led by Dawn Hemphill and Mary Jo Jones)
The third Thursday of the month at 3:00-5:00 in A119 (led by Denise Hawkins).
Our groups are led by trained facilitators who each have been shaped by how this disease has impacted their families. As we meet in person, masks are welcome but not required.

Grief is a very deep, complicated bundle of emotions that can be truly overwhelming. Each of us in our lifetime will grieve for a number of reasons brought on by life circumstances. Naturally, we think of grief after the loss of a loved one. We also may grieve loss of connections when we move, loss of a pregnancy or infertility, loss of a close relationship, the end of a marriage, loss of employment, and many other losses. Our church family cares deeply about those grieving in any way and we don’t want you to feel you are grieving alone. We want to offer you love, hope, and support in your journey of grief.
WEEKLY GRIEF SUPPORT
If you have experienced the death of a loved one please join us for this program of education and support. In an atmosphere of mutual love and support, we discuss the journey of grief, and acquire tools to handle this difficult time in our lives.
Our GriefShare program at MRCC will meet during our winter quarter in room A111 at 6:15-7:45 beginning on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.

HOPE - Hope Over Pain Everyday
2026-02-10 10:00 - 11:30
HOPE (Hope Over Pain Everyday) is a support group for women who struggle with chronic pain due to arthritis, auto-immune conditions, severe back pain, or other health issues. Its purpose is to provide encouragement, education, and hope for MRCC and community women facing daily pain challenges.
HOPE meets monthly on the second Tuesday from 10:00-11:30 AM in room A106.
This group is led by Gail Brookman, a trained facilitator who experiences chronic pain from multiple health conditions. We will use guided studies as well as host occasional guest speakers about resources that may be helpful.
While we will be sharing our pain struggles, our goal is for everyone to leave our support group meetings with a sense of HOPE. HOPE because we know God will take care of us and HOPE because we can connect with others who also experience chronic pain.
