Fayetteville First Baptist Church will offer GriefShare, a 13-week Bible-based program for those who have lost a loved one, on Tuesday nights from 6:30 until 8 p.m. A new session will begin Tuesday, Aug. 29.

Each class begins with a video and is followed by a time of discussion and sharing.

“GriefShare is a safe haven where everyone there understands what you are going through. It is a tremendous support when you’re walking through the grief of losing a spouse, a child, a parent, a sibling, or a close friend,” said a recent GriefShare participant.

GriefShare is open to anyone in the community whether their loss was recent or long ago. People of all ages and situations have received help and support through the classes.

Led by Paul and Mary Ellen Ashworth, Jenny Muller and Gena Turner, the class meets in Room A-101 in the First Baptist Church Worship Center building a block away from Courthouse Square in Fayetteville.

Call Mary Ellen at the church office, 770-461-8378, for directions or for more information.
