13 weeks of GriefShare sessions start Feb. 23

Arkadelphia’s First Baptist Church will offer the grief support ministry, GriefShare, for 13 weeks starting Monday, Feb. 24, 2026, for anyone who has experienced the loss of a spouse, child, family member or friend.

The weekly sessions from Feb. 23-May 18 will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. in Room 114 in the FBC Education Building, off the church’s south parking lot. Participants may enter off Eighth Street. Register or find more information at http://www.GriefShare.org. Walk-ins are welcome.

FBC has offered similar sessions since 2022. The 13 sessions focus in-depth on topics with titles such as Loneliness & Sadness, Fearful & Overwhelmed, Regrets, Questions for God, Stuck in Grief, Hope & Resilience and many more.

More than 20,000 churches throughout the U.S., Canada and 10 other countries have hosted GriefShare sessions since 1998. Each session features an information-packed video seminar. Then, local participants discuss the video content. A workbook offers journaling and personal study exercises that reinforce weekly session topics.

Participants may attend the FBC GriefShare sessions at any point until May 18. Each session is “self-contained.” GriefShare, a nondenominational, nonprofit ministry, encourages participants to experience a “journey from mourning to joy.” It’s also based on the idea that grief lingers for months and even years after the loss of a loved one.
