Grieving the Death of a Loved One?

If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you may be walking through a sorrow that many around you struggle to understand.

GriefShare is a Christ-centered support group designed to help you find comfort and healing through God’s Word. It gently guides those who mourn toward the hope and joy found in Jesus Christ—who has conquered death and promises resurrection and eternal life. Through biblical teaching, caring fellowship, and the support of others who have walked a similar path, you will be reminded of God’s faithfulness and the comfort of the Gospel.

Our next 14-week session begins September 8 at 4:30 p.m.

Suggested Free-Will Donation of $25
