GriefShare is a great place to find hope and healing in the midst of others who understand. The group is open to all who have experienced the death of a friend or loved one. From January 10th - March 28th, 2021 (with COVID guidelines in place), Charity Lutheran Church is  hosting weekly GriefShare sessions. They will be Sundays from 3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. You may go to www.griefshare.org to find out more about this program. You can register online there or REGISTER HERE.

If we are able to carry out our "in person" 2021 sessions meeting at church, masks and social distancing are required for the safety of all that attend. (Due to Covid 19, we are limiting our participant number to 15 this year. So please register early to assure getting to come.)  Note: If pandemic worsens, we will need to continue with virtual meeting format or set up a weekly group conference call meeting for the duration of the program meetings. Videos that are a part of each session can be watched at home for those that have pre-registered.)

If you are grieving the loss of a loved one or know of someone who is struggling, this course can help. If you have questions, call Lorri Mittleider at 701-400-1849.

Charity Lutheran is in its 7th consecutive year of supporting and hosting this ministry. In the past we've ended each final session with a celebration of life and remembrance of loved one with a balloon release or other type of fellowhip gathering.
 
Though there are several other types of community support groups regarding the death of loved ones, Griefshare is a powerful video and small group, faith-based, 13-week session, that helps deal with grief in a Bible-centered mannerof healing with God's help.  Small groups that follow the large group video, are sometimes created by the type of loss to support and help each other moving forward in the journey.

Charity, Century and Grace Point currently run this program throughout the year, opening up to the community and surrounding areas. Anyone experiencing a loss through the death of spouse, child, sibling, parent or friend is invited to come.  Look for upcoming information in the bulletin for details on who’s currently hosting, time and place, throughout the year.  (Note: This is not a divorce care program).

If you or someone you know could benefit from this powerful ministry, it truly can help those in need of someone coming alongside in the healing process.  Please contact any of our facilitators or Lorri Mittleider  at 701-400-1849 or mitlorri@gmail.com with any questions.
