GriefShare

Much healing occurs when people have the opportunity to talk about their grief experiences and hear others who are dealing with similar problems. Our third series of GriefShare, facilitated by Martha Bentley and Dan Piper, will be held in the church office conference room from 3 to 5 pm. on Sunday afternoons, beginning September 7 , 2008. Each week a video is shown which deals with stages and emotions of grief. Following each week’s video, a discussion time, led by lay facilitators, allows the participants to share their feelings and experiences. They come to understand that they are not alone, that there are others who are going through similar experiences. The support group becomes a “family,” with members ministering to each other, modeling the concept described in 2 Corinthians 1:3-6.

Join us if you feel you could benefit from GriefShare and please invite your friends who have suffered the loss of loved ones. For more information, please call the church office at 582-0283.
