MAUMEE, Ohio – January 23, 2014, Community members who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are invited to register for the 13-week GriefShare program to be held at First Presbyterian Church of Maumee beginning Tuesday, February 18 at 6:30 p.m. The program will run through May 13.
This nondenominational program features Christ-centered, biblical teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion about what was seen on the DVD.
Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have returned to their daily life routines. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them.
Each two-hour session begins with a light 6:00 p.m. dinner, followed by the program. It is led by Elder Vickie Secord, whose profession involves care for seniors in the greater Toledo area. GriefShare is open to any member of the community.
