Online Cancer Prayer Support Group
Second and Fourth Wednesday of the Month
10:00 am to 11:00 am Pacific Time
via Zoom
There is no fee for this support group.
We are a spiritual prayer support group that embraces, honors, and accompanies all touched by cancer.
You are welcome, whatever cancer journey you are on––past or present––as patient, loved-one, or caregiver.
This is a safe place to share and be held, whatever you are going through.
We check in and listen respectfully. We hold one another in trust, hope, and love. We honor confidentiality.
Our 60-minute sessions meet via Zoom at 10am Pacific time on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month.
