Directed by George and Helena Weltz

 

This is a ministry that is facilitated by our seniors and addresses the journey through mourning to joy for those who have to cope with the loss of a loved one. The course, which is thirteen weeks long, is designed to help those who have recently lost a loved one and all our facilitators have had such an experience.

The course material, plus the support of those within the group, all who have suffered loss, makes this a safe environment in which to share the pain, concerns, and hope for the future. Our regular fall 14-week Griefshare program is in the Boardroom on Thursdays from 7:00-9:00pm, starting September 9. The course fee is $35.00, which includes the workbook and refreshments.

We also run one day seminars on sharing grief and a special Christmas seminar called "Surviving the Holidays", December 4 or December 11, also in the Boardroom. The fee for this workshop is $12.00, and includes refreshments.

For further details call our facilitators George and Helena Weltz at 604.850.5470 or contact Pastor Steve at 604.852.1001.

"You need other people to listen to you, to validate you, to encourage you, to be there through this time". Dr Jim Conway - a contributor to the program.
