Grief Share 

October 8th - December 31st

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.

Mens Bible Study

Wednesdays, 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM 

 

Join the Bible Guys every Wednesday at Panera for Bible study. Our group delves into books of the Bible and explores topics related to our faith amongst fellow Christian men. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with others and deepen your understanding of scripture. All are welcome to attend, and we look forward to seeing you there.
