Widowed? Wondering about doing life by yourself?
- Video seminar: You’ll view a 35-minute video with encouraging, practical advice from counselors, pastors, and widowed men and women.
- Sharing time: Then you’ll get to talk with other widowed people about what you learned from the video. (There’s no pressure to share!)
- A guide to bring home: Everyone receives a FREE book with more than 30 short readings on how to live with grief and eventually rebuild your life.
- Cost: Your time. Everything else is FREE.

CARING SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND ADULTS
GRIEVING THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE
GriefShare is offered for adults and SHIFT is for students, grades 3-12. Both provide safe environments, are 13 weeks in length, and are staffed by compassionate leaders who have sustained similar losses. Both programs are offered in the fall and spring. GriefShare is offered on campus and online. SHIFT and the on-campus GriefShare run simultaneously allowing the parent and the child to receive grief support at the same time.
All sessions provide practical help, support, guidance, and encouragement. GriefShare provides large and small group support with practical video sessions. SHIFT also has large and small group activities and uses art projects to help students work through the emotions related to their grief.
ALL GRIEF SUPPORT MINISTRIES are open to church members and the community.
SHIFT will resume in January 2021.
