SO GLAD YOU FOUND US!!! My name is David and along with my wife Mandy, we lead the GriefShare program at First Baptist Church Fort Smith. During Spring/Fall, we meet every Wednesday night. The class is 13 weeks long. Dress is casual, you don't have to talk (only to introduce yourself) if you don't feel capable of it! We understand it can be overwhelming! Remember, you are amongst YOUR people, people who are experiencing or have experienced the same issues you have or may have. Grief is NOT a destination, it is a journey! We can help each other! We are a bible based cirriculum. We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord, Savior, friend, and someone we can lean on. You don't have to be a believer to attend, you don't have to come to church to attend, you just need to be considerate of others. Please contact me or First Baptist Church if you have any questions or concerns. Take the step, you have nothing to lose but your grief!
