Date & Time: Saturday, November 8, 2008, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon
 
Cost: $20.00
 
What you will learn: Grief is experienced by everyone, at some time, over many life events. See how the grief experience is common in all of us and unique to each of us. Learn the grief process. Think about what issues in our hearts are revealed by our grief process and learn about the comfort God gives to His children. Everybody loves someone. Everybody dies. So Everybody grieves. This workshop is for the one who is grieving today and for those who want to be helpful to someone who is grieving.
