GriefShare Support Group

Mondays 6-8pm

January 6 – March 30 (first 13-week cycle)

Pittsboro Presbyterian Church (PPC), with support from Chatham UMC, will be hosting GriefShare starting in January.  GriefShare is a special help seminar and support group for those who have lost loved ones recently or many years ago and are also great for teaching people how to care for others who are grieving. Each session includes a short video, discussion for those wanting to share and a journal they can take home to reflect on various aspects of grief. Our experienced leaders welcome everyone into this safe, nurturing place where hope, compassion and understanding can be found in the midst of pain. Although this is a Christian-based program, people from all perspectives will find a lot of helpful material and support.

Location: 95 East Street, Pittsboro (across from Hardees). You may park on the street or in our gravel lot which connects to our small driveway to the left of the church which has spaces for those who cannot walk as far. Come in PPC’s left side entrance or the door or one of the middle front doors to reach our adult classroom for each session. 

Cost: One-time registration fee of $20. Scholarships are available. 

*No prior registration. Bring your fee to the first session.

*You are welcome to begin attending our GriefShare group at any point. Each session is “self-contained”, so you do not have to attend in sequence. You will be able to pick up any sessions you missed in our next 13-week cycle.

*No childcare provided.

Kids Fun Nights

2nd Thursday every month, 6-8pm

Feb. 13, Mar. 12, Apr. 9, May 14

Every second Thursday of the month, we will be hosting Kids Fun Nights from 6-8pm at Pittsboro Presbyterian Church, 95 E. Street. These events are free and include crafts, coloring activities and G-rated movies young people can watch in a relaxed setting with snacks. They are geared towards small kids, preschoolers, and elementary-aged children and are a great way for parents who work during the day to get to know other families of young children during a fun mid-week activity. Children must come with an adult who stays with them until the child leaves. Two vetted and trained adults from the church will help set up, facilitate, and clean up with these events.
