Grief Share

The  Care  you  need.
Information  you  can  trust.

For all those struggling with grief following the death of a loved one, there is good news!
Griefshare will be starting a new series on August 22, 2022 at 7.00 - 8.30 pm in the Worship Center,
Room 1.  This is an international, faith based, ministry and offers hope and comfort  in a support
group. The only cost is for a book.
After  the  funeral,  when  the  cards  and  flowers  have  stopped  coming,  most  of  the  people around  you  return  to  their  normal  lives.  But  your  grief  continues  and  you  feel  alone.

Often,  friends  and  family  want  to  help  you,  but  don't  know  how.  That's  the  reason  for GriefShare.  Our  group  is  led  by  caring  people  who  have  experienced  grief  and  have successfully  rebuilt  their  lives.  We  understand  how  you  feel  because  we've  been  in  the same  place.  We  will  walk  with  you on  the  long  path  through  grief  toward  healing  and  hope  for  the  future.
