Bereavement Ministry The loss of a family member, spouse, friend or other loved one is a particularly challenging time of life. Our Christian faith and the community of faith come into play in these times in a special way. Our pastoral staff and care team ministries are involved in and available for bereavement care. In addition First Baptist offers the following ministries: Wings for the Journey is a bereavement support group that helps grieving parents and family members cope with the loss of a child. This group meets in the Chapel at First Baptist on the third Tuesday of each month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. For more information call 812-378-0955. The First Baptist Bereavement Support Team sends letters to those who've experienced loss each Lenten and Advent Season, as well as cards as follow-up care throughout the year. This group also sponsors an annual Widows/Widowers Tea each year that is well-attended and appreciated. Funeral Dinners & Receptions are another ministry offered for family of members at the time of loss.
