GRIEFSHARE SUPPORT GROUP HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT AFTER THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. GriefShare 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 (but you do not have to talk if you do not want to! You can also listen to the insights of others). Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them. Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have returned to their daily life routines. Too often people, including Christians, tend to hide and suppress their grief instead of allowing it to do the God-given work for which it is intended. Don’t allow fear of what others may think to keep you from what could help you. Confidentiality is very much a part of this program. 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 facing your new normal in life and renewing your hope for the future. GriefShare will be led by our seasoned facilitators: pastors Walter and Agnes Taylor, and Allison Pickard. GriefShare will start on Sunday, September 15, 4:00 – 6:00 pm, in the Disciples Room. The program will finish on Sunday, December 15. If you have to miss a meeting, you can watch the video you missed online. The cost for the workbook is $20.00. Scholarships are available. For more information, contact Walter or Agnes Taylor at 910-278-9741. To register, call the church office 910)278-9741 or go to the GriefShare website at www.griefshare.org and look for our church through Find a Group.
