We offer two ongoing support groups (one for men and one for women) on Thursdays at Care Night for those affected by cancer. 

CANCER SUPPORT FOR MEN

1st Thursdays | 5:30-7 pm | Room B153

The Men's Cancer Support Group is a monthly ministry for men in all stages of cancer treatment. This ministry offers men emotional and spiritual support. This group is led by Congregational Care Minister David Contag.

CANCER SUPPORT FOR WOMEN

4th Thursdays | 5:30-7 pm | Room B153

The Women's Cancer Prayer Support Group, or Glow Girls (God Loving Optimistic Women), is a monthly ministry for women who are currently experiencing cancer treatment or learning to adjust to life after treatment. The ministry offers women of all ages prayerful comfort, encouragement, support and the compassion of new friendships. God walks with us as we journey through cancer and we feel this presence as we travel through both dark valleys and bright meadows.  This group is led by Congregational Care Minister Sharon Lovell.

Childcare is available for these classes. If you are interested in making a childcare reservation, please do so here.

Our next meeting will be Thursday, February 28th with Guest Speaker, Leslie Martin

Leslie Martin, CNTP (Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner) is a member of the LAGKC and will be speaking to us at our February 28, 2019 monthly support meeting.  Leslie will speak to us about an hour, along with Q&A, on general nutrition with information on specific Lyme related issues such as inflammatory conditions, energy, mental health concerns, digestive issues and detoxification.  We will also learn the sourcing of food and why we should be including and avoiding certain foods in our meals.  We look forward to hearing from Leslie as we all learn new things together.  You won’t want to miss it!  Hope to see you there!

This support group meets every 4th Thursday (except November and December) to help people struggling to heal from tick-borne diseases. The public is invited to come learn about tick-borne diseases, ways to prevent them, symptoms, and treatments that patients are finding helpful. Special events are held throughout the year to raise Lyme Awareness in the Kansas City Metro area.

Join us prior to class at 5:30 pm for a community meal in the Foundry.

All family caregivers are welcome: those caring for spouses or parents, long-distance caregivers, with loved ones in long-term care or experiencing anticipatory grief. Trained caregiver coaches lead in-depth discussions.

The Health Concerns Support Group is for anyone who has experienced or is currently going through health issues, as well as healthcare providers. Dealing with health concerns can be a time of great frustration, sadness and isolation, and Congregational Care is taking steps to address your concerns, provide spiritual and emotional support and to make a positive difference in your life. The Health Concerns Support Group is open to any health compromised person and/or caregiver and health care providers who will respect the right to privacy of those sharing within the group.

Health Concerns meets the second Tuesday at 1:30 pm in B153.
