EVENTS AT CHURCH 52
GriefShare
GriefShare is a Christ-centered, video-led support group that encourages individuals to move through their grief and find a new normal in life. Join caring people who understand what you are going through and will walk alongside you to encourage and comfort you through one of life’s most difficult experiences.
This group will meet on Sundays from 4-6 pm at Church 52 from February 2nd through May 4th.
It hurts to lose someone, but you don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
