GriefShare
GriefShare is a grief recovery support group ministering to people in our community who are grieving the death of a loved one. This Christ-centered ministry stresses the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ as the foundation to personal healing from grief. It emphasizes the Bible as a source of practical answers to tough issues and theological questions that we bring to God during times of grief.
The program consists of 13 weekly sessions that are repeated each year. Each session consists of three segments: video seminar, support group and workbook discussion. The seminar segment provides important teaching on topics related to death and grief. The support group segment allows participants to talk through issues and feelings related to their own grief experiences. The workbook is a tool to guide participants in sorting through their thoughts and emotions and in learning what the Bible says about grief-related topics.
This group meets from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings. The session dates and topics are as follows:
