Description: FPC Maumee to host grief recovery and support group

Community members who have experienced the death of a family member or friend are invited to register for the GriefShare program held at First Presbyterian Church of Maumee, 200 E. Broadway Street in Maumee. The Winter/Spring session of the renowned 13-week program will take place Tuesday’s at 6:00 p.m. from February 26 until May 21.

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 dinner, followed by the presentation. 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.

To learn more call First Presbyterian Church of Maumee at (419) 893-0223 or visit www.griefshare.org.
