Surviving the Holidays

Surviving the Holidays is a helpful, encouraging seminar for people facing the holidays after a loved one’s death.

Please join us on Tuesday, December 9th, 2025 from 7-9PM in the Chapel.

Registration is open!

The seminar features video interviews with counselors, grief experts, and other people who have experienced the holidays after their loved one’s death and who offer practical suggestions and reassurance. These people share honestly about:

  • Being prepared for surprising emotions that may hit over the holidays

  • What to do about traditions and other coming changes

  • How to handle holiday parties and invitations

  • How to survive potentially awkward moments with other people

  • Where to find comfort, strength, and hope in a seemingly hopeless time

Cost is $10 for the Holiday Survival Guide.

If you are struggling with the death of a loved one,

you are invited to attend GriefShare, a program designed to provide information, support, and prayer during the painful process of grief. Each GriefShare class includes a short video presentation featuring top experts in grief recovery, followed by small group discussion. This is an opportunity to be cared for by people who understand what you're going through and can offer valuable help at a difficult time.

Each GriefShare class has two distinct elements:

  1. A Seminar with Experts - during the first part of the meeting, the GriefShare group watches a DVD seminar featuring top experts and topics on how to walk through grief in a healthy manner.  You will receive helpful, practical, and Biblical teaching to help you in your journey.

  2. A Support Group with Focus - after viewing the DVD, GriefShare participants spend time as a support group, discussing what was presented in the video, and what is going on in the lives of the group members.  This time allows you to connect with others and provide support during your time of transition.  Discussions are kept confidential within the group.

Topics include:

  • Is This Normal?

  • The Journey of Grief

  • Grief and Your Relationships

  • Guilt and Anger

  • Complicating Factors

  • What Do I Live for Now?
