GRIEF SHARE
Department Head: Pastor Wilkins

Expressing sympathy is always difficult, but all we can say is how sorry we are and want you to know we care. The journey of grief is a painful process, and you do not need to walk it alone. We would like to encourage you to come to the special seminar and support group offered here at Second Baptist called GriefShare. The materials specifically address topics and issues for those who are grieving the death of a loved one.
GriefShare meets via Zoom and the content is Christ-centered and biblical. You will find this to be a place where you can be around people who understand the pain of your loss. You will be prayed for and learn valuable information that will help you through this difficult season of your life.
