The death of a child is painful beyond words, which is why so many churches and leaders feel ill-equipped to minister in such a situation. But ministry in this time is imperative. Use this Urgent Care tool to learn what to say and what not to say, and to catch a glimpse of what parents experience when they lose a child. Also in this guide are principles for explaining a child's death to other children, and a sample sermon for leading a congregation through this trying time.
