Anona’s Grief Support Group is a confidential source for working through the painful grief of the death of a loved one. You’re welcome to come share or just listen. We meet on Wednesday afternoons in Anona UMC Chapel Library from 3:00-4:30. Zoom is also available.
Nurturing a loved one comes with its share of challenges. Caregivers frequently experience isolation and loneliness, grappling with persistent fatigue. Many find themselves without adequate support and unaware of available resources. Confronted with unfamiliar behaviors and issues, they often feel perplexed and frustrated. Occasionally, the line between love and duty becomes blurred.
Meetings are available in person or via Zoom so you do not need to leave your home or caregiving situation. They are held on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of each month, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm.
Finding solace and strength after losing a loved one? Join us at GriefShare, a unique weekly seminar and support group crafted to guide you through rebuilding your life. We understand the pain, and we’re here to lend a caring hand. For more details, reach out to the church office. We’re here to support you.
Probably most of us have had our lives changed, because you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with cancer. No matter where you are on your journey, the Hope Cancer Group is here to listen and help. To know the road ahead, ask those coming back from their journey. The group meets the 3rd Thursday each month at 6:30.
The group mission is our Hope Bag Project. Some of you were kind enough to contribute in September and we thank you!
These bags are filled with items that offer comfort to people going through their first chemo treatment with an invitation to come to our support group.
The Prayers and Squares ministry has had a tremendous impact on many people over the years. This ministry has now provided more than 3000 prayer quilts to people struggling with illness. Each quilt is lovingly hand-made and enfolded in the prayers of our entire congregation as we join together on Sunday mornings to tie a knot on the quilt and say a prayer on behalf of each recipient.
Anona’s Visitation Ministry Team brings the love of Christ from the church to the temporarily and permanently homebound. We call or visit our homebound church family in their homes or at rehab and adult living facilities. If you’re interested in bringing Christ’s love to the homebound through a phone call or visit, click the “I’m Interested” button below to find out more. Couples and friends welcomed and encouraged to join and visit together.
The Anona United Methodist Church Prayer Chain is composed of church members who pray daily for those requesting prayers for themselves and others. Requests are kept confidential unless otherwise specified. We ask for the name and phone number (or email address) of those asking for prayer in order to clarify and/or follow-up with a request. Prayer requests may be submitted to the Prayer Chain using the form below, or to any member of the Prayer Chain.
