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.
This GriefShare group meets weekly Saturday mornings at 10am at First Christian Church to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. Each GriefShare session has three distinct elements:
Video seminar with experts, support group discussion with focus, and personal study and reflection.
to 11:30 AM
An invitation to join the Balyeat family adventure, enjoy the family fun and let them remind you of God's great love for you.
Sunday - January 29th, 10:30 a.m. at FPC!
598 S. 7th Avenue
Yuma, Arizona
The Balyeat family are musical travelers, three generations sharing the hope of Jesus. Fiddles, guitars, a banjo, & a mandolin accompany their family's vocals & meaningful lyrics.
Prepare to be pleasantly surprised as yet another child makes an appearance to sing their song! Jesus has delivered us from the depths of despair and set us on the solid rock! Because He died, we have forgiveness, and because He lives, we have hope for tomorrow. His light keeps us shining in this world, passing the good news from generation to generation until we gather in the victory march to our mansions in glory!
Hope to see you Sunday at FPC!
