GriefShare Series:
Starting Sunday, February 22, 2026 from 12:30 to 2:30PM
in the Conference Room off the church parking lot.
Karl Fink will lead the group. If you are experiencing grief in any way, shape, or form, or if your grief has been buried for quite some time, please make an effort to attend this series. If you have come to this before and want to attend again, that is perfectly fine! There’s a nominal fee for the materials, which will be discussed at the first meeting. Griefshare is a 13-week video based series where we watch and discus as people feel comfortable. If you have questions or concerns, contact Karl at or call his office at 562.421.4711 extension 19. God’s comfort and peace.
