> I will be beginning a Grief Support Group (Mending Hearts) in July which will meet weekly on the campus of First Assembly. This group will focus on moving through the grief process and sharing our experiences in support of one another. This particular group will be for those who've lost children through infant death, still-birth, and miscarriage. If you or someone you know would be interested in attending, please forward this along and/or contact me directly so I can answer any questions you may have and plan on your attendance. Currently, we are looking to meet on Tuesday evenings, beginning 07/07, at my home instead of in the community.  We will meet from 6-8 pm, for 10 weeks at the time at 3723 Lake Spring Ave Concord, NC 28027 > > We may also begin groups specifically for those struggling with infertility, and grief related to other areas outside the loss of a child (parents, grandparents, job, etc...) if there is a desire. > > Please feel free to contact me directly at 704 720-7879 (home), 704 652-8178 (cell), or email @ mscgporter@carolina .rr.com. > > In His Service, > Cela Porter
