It may be hard for your to feel optimistic about the future right now.  If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

That’s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close.  This group is led by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time. 

Each GriefShare session includes a video seminar and group discussion. A GriefShare workbook assists you with note taking, journaling and grief study.  The videos feature top experts on grief recovery, dramatic reenactments about living with grief and real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours. 

During the small group discussion time, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with others who have experienced a recent loss, learn about their experiences and share your own. 

GriefShare meets on Sunday evenings from 5:00-7:00pm and on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm in Room 606 (enter Door O and take elevator to the 2nd floor).  You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session.  Each session is "self-contained", so you do not have to attend in sequence.  You will find encouragement, comfort and care to help you heal from your loss.  Contact the church office at 662-2100 to register or for more information or you may fill out the on-line Registration Form.
