Almost 5 minute reflection and prayer for Weds 2nd Sept 2026
I am reflecting on Psalm 30 - vs 5 ‘For his anger is but for a moment; his favour is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.’
Bless you today.

The Bereavement Journey® coming to Lytchett Matravers in October

Losing someone you love is one of life's hardest experiences. Grief affects not only our emotions but also our physical health, relationships, and everyday life. You don't have to face it alone.
The Bereavement Journey® is a gentle, supportive 7-week course for anyone who has been bereaved. Through short films, guided discussion, and a welcoming group, you'll have the opportunity to explore your grief alongside others who understand what you're going through.

The course is open to all adults, whatever your faith or beliefs. There is no expectation that you attend church, and the final session, which explores faith and bereavement from a Christian perspective, is entirely optional.
Topics include:
• Understanding grief and loss
• Why grief can be so painful
• Anger and guilt
• Coping with other people's reactions
• Delayed or suppressed grief
• Adjusting to life after loss
• Moving forward in a healthy way

The course is particularly helpful a few weeks after a bereavement (ideally after the funeral).
📍Venue: Lytchett Matravers Youth Hall, BH16 6BJ
📅Starts: Sunday 18 October
⏰Runs for 7 weekly sessions
📅Finishes: Sunday 29 November
