Pequea Church, 40 Church Road, Lancaster, will offer GriefShare on Tuesdays, Aug. 31 to Nov. 16, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the church's lower level in Room 141.
GriefShare is a biblically based and Christ-centered support group providing help and encouragement after the death of a loved one. Each 90-minute session includes a video and a time of sharing. The videos feature nationally recognized experts speaking on grief recovery topics such as "Is This Normal?" and "The Challenges of Grief," along with "Grief and Your Relationships," "Why?" and "Guilt and Anger."
Trina Barr and Sherry Mull will lead the sessions. Barr started her journey with grief after her younger brother took his own life. She attended a grief support program offered by hospice and found it so helpful that she began volunteering for hospice. In 2003, she started leading GriefShare at Pequea Church on a regular basis. She decided to take a break in 2017 after losing both her mom and another brother within three years. She said the time is right to offer this program again, after many people have experienced loss from the pandemic.
Mull experienced the loss of both her mom and a brother within two years. She subsequently attended one of the GriefShare programs led by Barr.
There is no cost for the workbook. For more information, call the church office at 717-872-5679 or email Barr at jebarr@frontier.com.
