Arkadelphia’s First Baptist Church will offer the grief support ministry, GriefShare, for 13 weeks starting Monday, Aug. 31, for anyone who has experienced the loss of a spouse, child, family member or friend.
The weekly sessions from Aug. 31-Nov. 23 will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. in Room 114 in the FBC Education Building, adjacent to the church’s south parking lot. Participants may enter off 8th Street. Register or find more information at www.GriefShare.org. Walk-ins are welcome.
FBC had 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 Nov. 23. 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.
