Grief Share
Surviving the Holidays | Sunday, November 8 | 5:00p | Zoom
Though we experience the pain and loss of the human world, we know that our God is eternal. As Christ-followers, we are able to live peacefully with the knowledge that our heavenly life awaits us. However, the shock of death and grief can still bring sorrow and mourning into our lives. GriefShare at Cottonwood Creek seeks to provide a safe place for those undergoing a grieving process to be surrounded by others who have also undergone a significant loss.
LifeGroups: Online, At Home & On Campus
In a large population, creating a sense of community and connecting with others is important. In the church, it’s crucial. LifeGroups are small groups within the larger church in which people of similar interests take care of the “one another” in life. In a large church, it’s important that community exists in order for relationships to be real and relevant.
