The journey of grief is painful. You do not need to walk alone. We invite you to participate in our upcoming GriefShare program at St. Paul of the Cross Church. The sessions and materials specifically address topics and issues for those who are grieving the death of a loved one.
GriefShare offers a place where you can be with people who share the pain of your loss. The prayerful environment includes valuable information that will help you through this time. GriefShare meets weekly, for 13 consecutive weeks. The content is Christ-centered biblical.
There a two 13 week sessions per year: one in the spring (mid March to early June) and one in the fall (September to early December). The springs sessions are held in the evening and the fall sessions are held in the mornings. All sessions are an hour and a half long.
