Lion Mike Wise (pictured at left) invited and introduced today’s guest speaker for our noon club meeting. Bro. Steve Gilley, associate pastor of First Baptist Church Minden, spoke about the GriefShare grief and loss support group that he leads.

While everyone’s response to loss is unique, people facing loss and grief will experience many of the same challenges. The weekly GriefShare topics address these common struggles—providing valuable tips, encouragement, and direction. Lion Mike shared an emotional story about the impact the GriefShare program made on his and his wife, Judilyn’s, lives following the tragic loss of their son, Preston, in January.

Bro. Steve announced that the next GriefShare session should begin this fall. He encouraged anyone interested in participating to call (318) 377-4434 and ask to be put on the GriefShare list. More information about GriefShare can be found at www.griefshare.org.
