I would like to invite anyone to our grief support ministry, sponsored by The Church by the Side of the Road. This is a positive, uplifting, caring group in which you can learn how to deal with the emotions and challenges that come when a loved one dies. Whether your loss is recent, or years in the past, this is a place of healing here for you! Please feel free to print or forward the information below to others who
are grieving the death of a family member or friend. They too are welcome and will benefit by joining us.
The Church by the Side of the Road GRIEFSHARE GROUP BEGINS Thursday, March 21 st . We will meet at
6pm through May 30 th for approximately 90 minutes. Please come, even if you know you can't commit to all 11 weeks. Anyone who has experienced the death of a family member or friend is invited to attend our new GriefShare series. We will be using session 4 of GriefShare. The sessions are held each week on Thursday at 6pm in the fellowship hall. GriefShare is a non-denominational, biblical support group, that focuses on helping people who are
dealing with a loved one’s death. Each DVD session features nationally respected grief experts and real-
life stories, followed by a small group discussion about the topics presented (with workbook support).
The workbook also provides a brief 5-day Bible study. At each GriefShare session you will find encouragement and help in grieving the death of your loved
one. No matter the cause of your loved one’s death, this is an opportunity to be around people who understand what you are feeling. You will learn how to recognize the symptoms of being stuck in grief and how to cope with the normal emotions that come when grieving a death. You will learn valuable
information on facing life situations, and you’ll gain renewed hope for the future. These sessions are
open to any adult regardless of whether your experience is recent or in the distant past. The group is led by individuals who have personally experienced grief due to a loved one’s death. Each leader is trained in facilitating a GriefShare support group.
The $20 registration fee includes materials. (Please don’t allow this fee to keep you from attending; we have scholarships available.) Information about the weekly topics can be found on the GriefShare website at www.griefshare.org. You can go directly to the church page on their website at: The Church by the Side of the Road group - GriefShare. While you are on the website, we encourage you to sign up
for the free daily email encouragements. You will find them informative and comforting. For additional information and to register, contact Pastor Rick at pastorrick@thechurchbythesideoftheroad.org or
