GriefShare–beginning August 14
Summit Baptist Church in Acworth is beginning their fall cycle of GriefShare on Sunday, August 14, 2022, and it will run through November 13, 2022. The sessions will begin at 3:00pm and end at 5:00pm. There is no charge for these sessions. This is a faith-based program for anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one–either a relative or a friend. (It is designed only for someone that has lost a person; it is not designed for other kinds of grief such as financial loss, divorce, loss of a pet, etc.) Many people that have gone through this program have expressed how much it has helped them in their journey through their grief. Even though it is faith-based, it is not based on any one denomination–it is strictly Bible-based. You are welcome to go online and sign up at griefshare.org, type in your zip code and if you type in the zip code 30101 or 30102, you will see Summit Baptist Church listed at the top. Or, if you prefer, you can call the church office at 770-975-4595 and they can tell you how to sign up.
GriefShare Seminar Online–beginning September 7
Beginning Wednesday, September 7, 7:00pm-8:30pm, Summit Baptist Church in Acworth will be sponsoring an interdenominational ON-LINE seminar called GriefShare. This seminar is a Bible-based program designed for persons that have experienced the death of a family member or friend. Participants will be meeting with others that understand their feelings. This is a 13-week seminar with each session being a stand alone session so that a person is welcome to come anytime during the 13 weeks. We will not meet on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. So the actual end date will be December 7. You can go online and go to GriefShare.org, click on Find a group, enter your zip code and you can register at that site.
