"Strengthening Your Marriage"
Have you ever noticed how marriage can be difficult at times?! It’s because men and women are wired so differently. When you add the strain brought on by grieving the death of a child, those differences can add even more stress to a marriage. Learn ways to keep connected through the grieving process so your marriage can grow stronger.


"Coping with the Aftermath of Suicide"
Not only do survivors have to cope with the sudden loss of a beloved child, but there is also society’s stigma surrounding a death by suicide. Bereaved parents face false assumptions, bias, religious judgments, and prejudices.  We hope to bring new light to this dark subject by #1 EDUCATING and #2 EQUIPPING anyone coping with the aftermath of suicide.

"Leadership Training"
 This is a "Pre-Conference" workshop on Friday from 3:00 - 5:00 for those who would like to start an Umbrella Ministries group in your area. 

"The Shepherd's Walk through the First Years"
As the fog of the first year drifts into the second, a mother can find herself slipping into deeper depression. The anniversaries face us again. Expectations for our healing do not match reality. Where can we turn for comfort? How do we continue when the pain is daily? This workshop offers a practical promise of hope through the 23 Psalm

"When Your World Falls Apart" - A Bible Study of Hope
The personal trauma of losing a child produces grief, mourning, shock, disbelief and gut wrenching pain,  It is life shattering and life changing.  It shakes the very foundation of our lives and without God’s intervention we can lose our way and lose ourselves on the journey.  God’s Word points the direction to the way out of the darkness that surrounds our collapsing world.   This study will assure you that hope is possible, not just for a life that carries on, but for a life that is stronger, more meaningful, more exciting and abundant than the one you knew before!  You will receive a 20 lesson Bible Study Workbook that is a companion Study Guide to “When Your World Falls Apart” by Mike MacIntosh.  It has been used to provide hope and healing to many broken hearts.

"Life Changing Conversations with God" 
Prayer transcends us out of our present reality into the presence of God.  How amazing is that?  God, the Creator of the universe invites us into His presence where He exchanges our anxieties for His peace, our mourning for His Joy, our weakness for His strength and our pain for His comfort.  Let prayer change your life!  Join us for insights into entering God’s presence, listening to His voice, authentic praying and receiving answers and help in time of need.  Each of you will receive a Prayer Guide to help you establish a habit of life changing conversations with God.

"Art Therapy"
Art therapy can help gain a different perspective on grief when words fail us. We reach out for all kinds of resources. Art therapy provides tools to reach for strength within to continue on our journey of the heart.  The creative process involved in the making of art is healing and life enhancing.  No artistic talent required.
