Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 
~ Matthew 11:28

Starting February 21st through May 15th
Meeting Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the Music Library 

GriefShare is a place where you can express your emotions and receive comfort, instruction and help from others who have experienced the death of a loved one. You will learn what to expect during the coming days and months, what to do with your unpredictable and overwhelming emotions, how to keep from getting stuck in grief and what grief can teach you. With GriefShare you will learn how to walk the journey of grief and be supported on the way. It is a place where hurting people find healing and hope.

This group will just be starting, so it is a good time to join. For more information and/or to register, please either contact via e-mail Dick and Lois Barth or call them at 763-682-3742 OR contact via e-mail the Church Office or call 763-682-1470.

How GriefShare Works

It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.

This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.

GriefShare groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:

Video Seminars With Experts

Each week your GriefShare group will watch a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos are produced in an interesting-to-watch television magazine format featuring expert interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments and on-location video.

Support Group Discussion With Focus

After viewing the video, you and the other group members will spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in your lives.

Workbook-Based Personal Study and Reflection

During the week you will have the opportunity to use your workbook for further personal study of the grieving process and to help sort out your emotions through journaling. Your group will spend time discussing questions and comments from the workbook study.
