    Grief Share

    GriefShare

    Wednesday evenings. 6-8 PM, Room 300 Group facilitators: Steve and Jeanette Stallings Book cost: Free! After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most of the people around you return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone.

    Often, friends and family want to help you, but don't know how. That's the reason for GriefShare. Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and have successfully rebuilt their lives. We understand how you feel because we've been in the same place. We will walk with you on the long path through grief toward healing and hope for the future.

    For more information, contact Erin Crean, ecrean@firstnorfolk.org or 757-461-3226, ext 289



    WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY

    What is Love

    In-Person + Online
    Be Encouraged To Remain Faithful To The Truth Of The Gospel
    A 7-Session Study of 1,2,3 John by Kelly Minter
    The Letters of 1, 2 & 3 John were written to encourage followers of Jesus to remain faithful to the truth. Believers are challenged to look at contrasting themes such as walking in the light instead of darkness, truth versus lies and deception, loving God more than loving the world, and the meaning of true fellowship and community rather than shallowness. This 7-session study not only reveals the heart of John but also the heart of Jesus. A great addition to The Living Room Series, this study includes recipes and a more relational approach.
