GriefShare
It hurts to lose someone. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone. GriefShare is led by people who understand what you are going through and want to help. GriefShare meets weekly in 13 week cycles. Each week will include a time of dvd teaching and discussion time.
Any type of grief is welcome.
Our next Session begins October 5, 2021. Runs weekly on Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm at the Downes Road Campus. Cost: $20 per person. Click HERE to register today!
If you need to talk someone please reach out to our care team. care@northview.org
Northview Cares Initiative
Now more than ever, the call for the Church to love others is important. We want to serve and meet the needs of those who may be experiencing unforeseen hardship due to COVID-19.
At Northview we believe that every need is an opportunity to “shine our light before others, so that they may see our good works and give glory to our Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Our hope is built on the perfect love of Jesus Christ, who calls us to share His love by our actions.
