First Light at First Nederland

First Light at First Nederland Rooted in Christian faith, SHIFT guides young participants through their grief with compassionate support and understanding.

**First Light Ministry - First Baptist Church Nederland**

Welcome to the First Light Ministry, a compassionate and supportive community under the First Baptist Church of Nederland. Our mission is to provide a beacon of hope and healing for individuals navigating the challenging journey of grief, tailored specifically for children, teenagers, and adults.

**For Kids - Growing Seasons**
First Light

offers a free peer support group designed for children from Kindergarten through Grade 6. Led by trained facilitators, this 13-week program helps young hearts navigate the complexities of grief, addressing life changes, forgiveness, and understanding. Our goal is to emphasize the constant love and presence of the Heavenly Father, even during times of crisis.

**For Teenagers - SHIFT (Hope for Grieving)**
SHIFT is our dedicated grief support program for teenagers coping with the loss of a family member, friend, or loved one. We aim to offer hope and healing, helping them manage the complexities of their emotions and find strength in their faith.

**For Adults - GriefShare**
Our GriefShare support group creates a safe and understanding environment for adults who are navigating through grief. Over the course of 13 weeks, participants learn about the common experiences and expectations associated with grief. The group provides strategies to cope with the unpredictable nature of grief, offering consistent support throughout the journey. Join us at First Light Ministry as we walk together towards healing and hope.

Last night was our Celebration Dinner where we celebrate all the accomplishments our children and teens have made. It completes our 13 sessions for this season. This year we have seen so much growth in our attendees. Thank you to the parents and loved ones that have entrusted us with these kids and thank you to the volunteers that have poured the love of Christ in to each of them each week. Our next sessions will begin in October. Even though our session is over we will be praying for those that have attended and those that God will bring to us for our next season. Thank you Heather for getting some pictures of our event.
