GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
GriefShare seminars and support groups are led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. You’ll gain access to valuable GriefShare resources to help you recover from your loss and look forward to rebuilding your life.
Holidays are an especially difficult time for those having
lost loved ones in the past year. I would like to share with you that Howard
and Becky Harper will be facilitating the
GriefShare Ministry at Friendship Baptist Church. They have experienced the pain of
loss and found strength and victory through Jesus Christ.
All meetings will take place at Friendship Baptist Church. Click here for directions.
