Welcome to FVChurch’s GriefShare program!
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." - Matthew 5:4
If you are walking through the valley of grief, you are not alone. We invite you to join a Christ-centered support group (GriefShare). Whether your loss is recent or long ago, there is room for you. Our FALL SESSION will begin Monday, September 8 at 6:30 pm and will go for 13 weeks. Click the link below to register.
If you are repeating from the SPRING SESSION, please bring the same workbook you received then.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Freedom Valley Church
Lori Doudrick is your FV GriefShare leader! She’s been a member of FVChurch for 7 years. She has gone through the GriefShare program herself, through the process of losing her father and husband, and more recently her mother. Lori feels led by the Lord to help others through their grieving process as well.
Prayer night is an opportunity for FV Youth to go deeper in their faith, as well as provide a time for them to practice the discipline of prayer.
Come join Pastor Isaiah and the FVYouth students for a night of prayer.
