WELCOME, Join us as we start our new session starting TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 - 9 am-11 am
In this Christ-centered program, a friendly, caring group of people, will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult times, so we may remind you, “You are not alone”.
A Private Environment, a safe place where you can share your story. A DVD and workbook provide essential information to help you understand the experience of grief and the “normalcy” of this unpleasant experience. This is not a sad event filled only with tears; by having the opportunity to share the story of your loved one or listen to others on this journey facing the challenges of grief, learning how to cope, finding your “new normal”, moving from mourning to joy.
We’ll have a “Care Book” waiting for you by contacting us in advance.
Please bring your own beverage and snack. Child care is not provided.
We start and end promptly, ARRIVAL TIME: 5-10 min before the meeting.
All are welcome at any time! There is NO COST for this program.
Limited Seating Please RSVP ASAP! - Thank you!!
