GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays

No matter how long it’s been since the death of a loved one, grief

can make the holidays a painful time, but there is help. Join us for

“GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays”, an encouraging seminar that

will help you not only survive the holidays, but discover new rea-

sons to enjoy them again. Practical suggestions and reassurance

will be provided through video and discussion. This support group

is open to the community. If you, or anyone you know, could bene-

fit from this encouraging seminar, please plan to join us today, from

2:00-4:30 p.m., in the Church Parlor. For further information, see

Jackye Cannon or Jean Heasley.
