Meeting room

Enter the front of the church building; you will see three sets of double doors. Go through the atrium and to the left. You will see a hallway to your left. Follow that hallway to the first opening; go right. At the end of that hallway, make a left, and then the meeting room will be the first door on your right.


We welcome you to join us for this 13-week series. We meet weekly on Mondays at 630 pm.

The 13-week series can be started from Session 1 or can be joined in the middle or even at the end. All sessions will be helpful no matter where you are on your grief journey. There is great strength from having participants that are at various stages of their journey.

Each session has three components:
1. Watching the video, which provides excellent education and experience for your grief work.
2. Sharing time where we can express our own questions, struggles and discuss our own experience. Sharing is always optional; no one is required or called on to share.
3. You will receive a workbook that provides a 3rd component of the program. It provides a means of reflection and study during the week between the Monday sessions and is a valuable tool in processing the emotions and challenges you are experiencing.

Another component is our Facebook page. We have a private page only for participants in the Branson GriefShare sessions. Once you attend, you will receive an invite to join our group.

Please call Phyllis Laramore at 417-294-1287, Rolly Ward at 417-973-2645, Dawn Wafford at 858-414-5657, Jim Wafford at 858-952-8846 or me at 417-840-0754 if you have any questions.

We look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you.
