GRIEF SHARE<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Grief Share is a ministry for those who have lost a loved one. The facilitators, Bruce and Terri Honer, have each lost someone who was very near and dear to them, and they found help and healing through Grief Share. Grief Share provides scripture-based counsel, group support, and an opportunity to develop an understanding of where the Lord is and what He wants you to know during your healing process. We meet one season each year for twelve consecutive weeks, Thursday nights 6:00-8:00 PM, February – April. You may register beginning in January. The cost is $25 for the workbook.<\/p>\n

We also meet the first Saturday of November for one session on Surviving the Holidays, 9:00-11:00 AM. You may register beginning in October. The cost is $10 for the workbook.<\/p>\n

When registration is available you can sign up by locating the Grief Share option on our Events Registration<\/a> Page.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
