Grief Share
Are you suffering grief, sadness, or loneliness due to the loss of a loved one to death? The finality of death can be hard to accept. Seeing past the pain and sorrow and moving forward in life can be challenging when you are suffering grief.
Grief Share is a small group experience designed to help you process through your loss and make the journey from mourning to joy. You will meet people from many stages on the journey and learn there is life after grief. The Grief Share videos and workbooks are Biblical teaching on grief and recovery and are both encouraging and uplifting and will assist you in your healing.
No one should walk the path of grief alone. Please call Karen in the Pastoral Care Department at 678-285-3255 or email: [email protected]

“… He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. …”
— Isaiah 61:1-3
