GriefShare: Your Journey from Mourning to Joy   

A Christ-centered 13-week video seminar and support group for people who are grieving at the death of someone close to them --no matter when it occurred.

GriefShare is a non-denominational group and features biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics. Please join us for the next GriefShare session.

You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is "self-contained," so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin. You will be able to continue with GriefShare through the next 13-week cycle and view any of the videos you have not seen.

GriefShare Group meet here at Ascension, every Friday from 12:30 to 2:30 pm in the Library. Call the church office, (805) 495-0406 if you have any questions.

GriefShare video sessions are designed to help you successfully travel the journey from mourning to joy.
