DES MOINES, Iowa — A church in Des Moines is offering a counseling program to help those dealing with grief and loss during the pandemic.
Trecie Bolton, the pastor of New City Church, said individuals and families who have lost loved ones to COVID-19 or other pandemic-related stresses have reached out for help.
Bolton says the church has run the bereavement counseling program for several years now. She wants to help people who are grieving in any way.
“Sometimes it’s run out of anger. Sometimes it’s performed or shown in bitterness,” Bolton said. “What we want to do is really get the body to come together so we can heal the body.”
Bolton says everyone is welcome. Visitors do not need to be a church member to join the group. The group lasts 13 weeks. Sessions are hosted in person and virtually via Zoom.
The first session is Wednesday, February 2 from 7-8:30 p.m. The group is free, but workbooks for the course are $25.
The New City Church is located at 3114 SW 61st in Des Moines.
