GriefShare Program Begins August 22
This program features biblical, Christ-centered teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion about what was viewed. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them.
Your bereavement experience may be recent or not so recent. You will find encouragement, comfort and help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member, or friend. No matter what the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and that you do not need to live in bondage to certain emotions. You will learn valuable information about renewing your hope for the future.
GriefShare will be held Thursdays, August 22 – November 14 at 10:30 AM in Meeting Rooms 1 & 2.
Cost: $15.00 (Scholarships are available.)
Any questions, call Betsy at the Parish Office 763-441-1483 x308 or send an email.
To register, call the Parish Office 763-441-1483 x308 by August 15.
