Grief Seminar
Saturday, September 10, 2011, 9:30–11:30 a.m., DC200/201
Losing a loved one is extremely difficult. The range of emotions experienced in the grieving process can be overwhelming. Hearing from others who’ve been through it before can have a healthy effect on your grieving and encourage sensitive care for others. Biblical teaching, a panel discussion, and refreshments are provided. Panel members have experienced the loss of a husband, wife, infant, child, teenager, adult child, parent, sibling, or close relative. There is no cost to attend, but please register by Friday, September 2, or call the Pastoral Care office (614-410-4279; please leave your name and phone number, plus the names of others attending with you).
