Everyone needs a listener. New Door volunteers have received training in active listening to enable them to come alongside people at a time of need and help to clarify their problems. Maybe you are recently bereaved, or are having family problems. Maybe you are depressed and feel you need to talk to a friend, but don't know who to ask. New Door is a confidential listening service, available by appointment, at its own room in the Oliver Bird Hall, Church Hill Road, Solihull B91 3RQ. On the other side of the door is a warm welcome. Leave a message on 0121 704 2355 and a volunteer will call you.
The Bereavement Fellowship Group meets regularly at St Helen’s Church. Meetings are held usually on the fourth Monday afternoon of each month between 1.30 and 3.00pm. We begin with a cup of tea or coffee, and then spend about an hour or so listening and sharing together. Those who have attended the group so far have found it has helped them to explore and express their feelings and have benefited from sharing with others who are going through a similar experience to their own. We usually end with a short period of reflection which might include music, poetry and/or prayer.
The group is open to all those who have been bereaved during the past year or so. It aims to provide an opportunity to share the experience of bereavement with others, to reduce the sense of social isolation felt by many bereaved people, and ultimately to give the participants the confidence and encouragement to move on with their lives.
If you have been recently bereaved or if you know of someone in your church family who you think might benefit from this fellowship group, please email Revd Margaret Jones who will be happy to provide you with more information.
