A MESSAGE FROM DANIEL ABOUT CORONAVIRUS

Like many institutions in your life, we are taking the effects of the Corona virus seriously. At this time, our classes and church services are happening as normal. However, common sense precautions are called for.
PASTORAL CARE CORNER

Here at First Church, we offer several avenues for support and connection to those who are struggling, grieving or in need of care. This month Living Lightly with Health Challenges meets, a group for those navigating long term illness; as well as Caring for the Caregiver , a support group for those caring for loved ones with memory loss. We'll also begin our Spring session of Navigating Grief for those healing from loss.

To find out more about the ways in which you can give or receive care, email Jean Ann Powers our Director of Pastoral Care, at japowers@dallasuu.org .
