Bereavement Support Series: Grief can be hard work. The funeral ends but the fog of grief lingers. After the loss of a significant person in our lives we experience a wide variety of feelings and emotions. We are here to help you work through the stages of grief and find ways to continue on. Please join us on Tuesday afternoons beginning October 22nd from 1:30 to 3:00 pm in the Gathering Area of the church. To register, or if you have any questions, please contact Debbie Lokar at the Parish Office.
