AMEND Pregnancy Loss Support Group
For over 50 years, AMEND Pregnancy Loss Support Group has been part of the Tampa Bay community, offering support to parents who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby. Our group welcomes parents who have experienced an early miscarriage, a full-term stillbirth, or the loss of a baby within the first month after birth. We believe the goal of grief support is not to fix broken hearts, but to create a place where parents never have to hide them. Here, parents can share, grieve, and connect with others who understand this unique kind of loss. You do not have to walk through pregnancy loss alone, and you are welcome to attend at any point in your grief journey.Pregnancy loss affects both parents, yet fathers' grief is often unseen or overlooked. At AMEND, we believe every parent's loss matters. Led by Jaci (Perinatal Mental Health Therapist, RCSWI) and David, who have experienced pregnancy loss themselves, the group offers support and understanding for both mothers and fathers.Please contact Jaci at jaci10perez@gmail.com. Meetings will be held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, at 7pm. We have an email list and private facebook group, for event announcements, so please check there or contact one of us, before coming.

Families break down not because of lack of love or willpower, but often because they don’t have the support they need to push through poverty, job loss, or health concerns. Better Together partners volunteers with varied backgrounds to be a friend or a mentor to someone in their program. Your ability to help make a budget, drive to an appointment, or just be a familiar friendly listening ear can make all the difference to your friends and neighbors.
Come learn more about becoming a Better Together volunteer, on Sunday 8/23 after church in the Gathering room. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP below.

The Sacred Work of Preaching: Conversations with Women Pastors
Join Northern Seminary's Center for Women in Ministry on August 12 at noon (CT) for The Making of a Woman Preacher, an inspiring online conversation featuring Christine Caine, Tara Beth Leach, Rev. Dr. Gail L. Rice, and Aimee Tucker. Together, these remarkable women will share the experiences that have shaped their ministries, strengthened their voices, and sustained them through the joys and challenges of preaching.
During this conversation, we'll explore:
- How they first discerned God's call to preach
- How they developed their unique voices and honed the craft of preaching
- How they persevered through seasons of challenge, growth, and faithful obedience
Whether you're discerning a call to ministry, already serving in church leadership, or simply looking to be encouraged by the stories of faithful women, this conversation will offer wisdom, practical insight, and hope for your own journey.
We hope you'll join us for this meaningful conversation as we celebrate how God continues to raise up women to proclaim His Word with courage, humility, and conviction.
