GRIEF CARE GROUP
Last Monday of the month at 6:45 pm- in Chapel
Nothing hurts like losing someone you love due to death, divorce, separation OR any other life loss experience. While it may not ease the pain, understanding that grief is normal can help us cope a little better. Coming together regularly just to share our grief with others is a pathway to healing. *Childcare available upon request please call the church to arrange at least 3 day before class.
