GriefShare

GriefShare is a special weekly seminar/support group for people grieving the death of someone close.   It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.  This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.  GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.   For more information please contact Dartha Faulk or the church office.

DivorceCare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life.  You don't have to go through it alone.  For more information please contact Janice McCormick or the church office.
