You will learn valuable information on facing life situations, recognize symptoms of normal emotions and those of being stuck, and you’ll gain renewed hope for the future. These sessions are open to any adult regardless of whether your experience is recent or not so recent. The group is led by individuals who have personally experienced grief due to a loved one’s death.
Each week includes a DVD teaching time followed by group discussion on topics relevant to your situation. You will also receive a workbook to keep you engaged throughout the week. Our hope is that you will find encouragement, help, and healing in grieving the death of your loved one.

Deeper Still: Retreat for Foster/Adoptive Parents
2026-02-13 18:00 - 2026-02-14 16:00 | Crossroads Upper Room, 800 Scribner Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI, 49504, United States
No matter where you find yourselves—thriving, exhausted, or somewhere in between—God is inviting your marriage to go deeper still.
Join Todd and Beth Guckenberger, Co-Executive Directors of Back2Back Ministries, for a soul-refreshing weekend retreat created specifically for foster/adoptive/kinship parents. (Couples considering foster care or adoption are encouraged to attend as well!)
This is our time to step away from the everyday chaos, reconnect with God and our spouse, draw strength from a like-minded community, and be reminded of the sacred calling we’ve embraced.
Through worship, Biblical teaching, real conversations, and intentional rest, we’ll journey together into deeper intimacy with God, deeper connection with each other, and renewed clarity in the beautiful and challenging path of foster care and adoption.
Come as you are. Let God meet you there—and take you deeper still.
