In the latest episode of the Coffee Creek Church Podcast, Pastor Clark dives deep into navigating the complex emotions surrounding Christmas, especially when we miss the familiar faces who are no longer with us. Pastor Clark Frailey offers both spiritual encouragement and practical advice to help individuals cope with grief and support others who are grieving during this season. 💡 Key Takeaways: Embrace God's Presence Amid Grief: Grief doesn't signify the absence of hope. True hope is found in understanding that God is with us, even through our darkest times, as illustrated by the concept of Emmanuel - "God with us." Share and Communicate: Open communication about feelings and seeking connection with trusted individuals can significantly alleviate the overwhelming nature of grief. Practical Steps for Healing: Pastor Clark emphasizes the importance of accepting support, leveraging community resources like the upcoming grief support meeting on December 3rd, and remembering God's promises as foundational steps toward healing. Join us as we explore how grief, tied deeply to love, can transform through faith and communal support. 🎧✨ #GriefSupport #HolidayGrief #FaithAndHealing #CoffeeCreekChurchPodcast --- 📅 Join us live on Sundays at 11 AM - both in person and online. 📌 Follow us on social media: Facebook: / coffeecreekchurch Instagram: / coffeecreek.church App: https://coffeecreek.churchcenter.com/ =================
