Tethered in Hope

Urbana United Methodist Church

Grief is easier to carry when it is carried together.

Tethered in Hope is the private home of our grief support group at Urbana United Methodist Church — our gatherings, quiet check-ins, shared resources, and a daily word of hope, all in one calm place.
