Welcome to Lutheran Church of Hope's 2026 Fall semester of GriefShare. We’re glad you’ll be joining us this semester.
Class will begin at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, September 15th and will conclude on December 8th. Each session will include a chance to talk, pray, and learn from each other as new topics are introduced in the videos each week.
The GriefShare Workbook has the video notes guide, follow-up contemplations, prayers, and beneficial ways to cope. The workbook can be purchased at the Café Hope Bookstore anytime there is a worship service on the weekends at the West Des Moines location or before class starts on Tuesday evenings.
An optional introduction session will be held on Tuesday, January 6th 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM. At this session you will meet the DivorceCare leaders, get a chance to introduce yourself and hear from others in the class. Class leaders are people who experienced the death of a loved one and found GriefShare was an important step in their own healing process.
