GRIEFSHARE is a support group for those experiencing pain and grief from the loss of a loved one. Using videos and conversation in a small group, we learn how to find our own comfort in that loss. It is a 13-week program, January 17-April 11, 2022. We meet on Mondays from 12:30-2:30pm. You can visit as often as you feel comfortable. Visit us, find your own plan with God’s strength.
