Pet Loss Support Group
Offered: 1st Tuesday of each month from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. Click here to download Flyer
Our pets become members of our families and are often our best friends. They love us
unconditionally, and when they die or disappear, sometimes we are surprised at the depth
of sadness and emptiness we feel. This group offers a place where you and others who
are grieving the loss of a pet will discover you are not alone in your grief and where you
can begin to heal as you share with one another your experiences and memories of your
special friend.
When: 1st Tuesday of each month from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Where: St. Stephens Lutheran Church, 119 N. Church Street, Lexington, SC 29072Directions: St. Stephens Lutheran church is located in downtown Lexington and fills
much of the city block bounded by Main Street, Church Street, and Butler Street. The
group will meet in a classroom located on the Butler Street side of the building. Church Street runs between Main Street and Highway 6. Turn off Church Street onto Butler Street (runs between the church and the cemetery). Park anywhere along either side of the road, beside the cemetery or the church building.
We meet in the educational building closest to (and connected to) the sanctuary. This
portion of the building juts out closer to the street just past the sanctuary. There is a
streetlight almost directly across the street from the entrance we use. There is also a sign there that bears the words: “Sanctuary”, “Classrooms”, and “Preschool Office” at that entrance. Our meeting room is the first door on your right as you enter the building. Call 413-2199 if you can’t find us or if you can’t get in when you arrive!
This group is fully funded by Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital and Lake Murray Animal Hospital as a Community Service. For more information about this group, call 407-3185
