This ministry assists families in coping with the death of a loved one—sometimes an immediate need and sometimes it is at a later date. It includes preparing and serving a meal for family and loved ones after the funeral. If necessary, it also provides a listening ear (but not counseling) for any member who just wants to talk and information about professional counseling if needed. We continue to remember in our prayers all those who have gone before us preparing our “heavenly banquet” and their loved ones.
