us.
Grief Support Group
When a loved one passes there are many emotions
and feelings. Sometimes they hit us like a ton of bricks, and other times we feel them differently every day.
We hope if you are grieving from a loss that you will join us for a time of fellowship and sharing, a time to connect with
others who are experiencing similiar feelings. It doesn't matter if the loss was 10 years ago or yesterday. If
you are in need of fellowship, please join us on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9:30 am in the parlor.
