, First Presbyterian Church and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church will host a program on grief. The program will be held at First Presbyterian Church and will be led by Susan Marshall, LPC. Susan is a psychotherapist and the founder of The Center for Mindful Exploration. We will explore what we need during times of grief and learn to honor this painful, but important process.
