GriefShare: Christ-Centered Grief Support Group *
Are you or someone you know experiencing a season of grief?
GriefShare is a Christ-centered ministry designed to help those in grief to face
the challenges of grief and move toward rebuilding their lives. It consists of a weekly video series featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These
videos are produced in an engaging television magazine format featuring expert
interviews, real-life case studies, dramatic reenactments and on-location video.
After viewing the video, you will spend time as a support group, discussing what
was presented in that week’s video seminar and what is going on in your life. A
workbook is also used for further personal study of the grieving process to help
sort out emotions though journaling. The group will spend time discussing
questions and comments form the workbook study. You are welcome to begin
attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is “self-contained,” so you
do not have to attend in sequence. GriefShare will meet on Thursdays, beginning
at Western Carolina Church, Cross Street Building in Spruce Pine at
6:00PM. For more information call Carolyn Dotts 467-1433, Jeff and Angela
