GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grieving a loved one’s death. Over 13 weeks, you’ll find relief and comfort as you learn what to expect in the days ahead and how to navigate your personal grief process. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

Topics include how to manage grief-related emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, sadness, anger, and regret; how to cope with the changes in your life and relationships; how to recognize what’s normal in grief; and what to do if you feel stuck or hopeless.

We meet on Mondays 1-3pm in Fall and Spring, join anytime. More info at griefshare.org.

Advance registration requested at griefhare.org. Email questions to Joy Schneider lovemercy3@yahoo.com.

We meet at 10:45 on Sunday mornings for discussion and education led by Pastor Fran. Sometimes we follow a book, other times we discuss a portion of the Bible or dive deeper into the day’s sermon theme.

No sign-up needed, all are welcome.

Join us in the church lobby for good coffee and good conversation! Approximately 2pm-3pm.

No sign-up needed.
