in the Media Center

Are you widowed? Do you dread the lonely days and nights? Wonder what to do with your spouse’s belongings? Feel like your brain is in a fog? Unsure of how you’ll go on? Help is here and hope is possible. GriefShare brings you both spiritual and practical tools for surviving the loss of your spouse. Please join us for this important workshop facilitated by Abbigail Felton.

At a Loss of a Spouse seminar you’ll discover:

• Other people understand and have found ways to make it through
• Why it won’t always hurt so much
• Reasons for hope
• Practical tips for coping with the death of a spouse

A Loss of a Spouse seminar lasts about two hours. Here’s what to expect:

• Video seminar: You’ll view a 35-minute video with encouraging, practical advice from counselors, pastors, and widowed men and women.
• Sharing time: Then you’ll get to talk with other widowed people about what you learned from the video. (There’s no pressure to share!)
• A guide to bring home: Everyone receives a booklet with more than 30 short readings on how to live with grief and eventually rebuild your life.

Registration is necessary in order to ensure that you have a participant's book, which is $10. Please contact Pastor Lisa if you're interested (ltanico@wesleymemorial.org) or 336-812-4815. You may also register online at

Senior Adults February Event: POPCORN AND A MOVIE!

Friday, February 24

1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Church Dining Hall

Bring your slippers, afghans & pillows to create a cozy “nest” in your seat! Our feature film to be shown on the BIG SCREEN is “FATHER STU!” True story of Stu Long, the son of an abusive, mostly absent father (played by Mel Gibson) and a well-meaning but ineffectual mother (Jacki Weaver). Stu (played by Mark Wahlberg) becomes a boxer – but when he cannot fight anymore, he redirects his single-minded dedication to an even unlikelier goal – he decides to go to Hollywood to become a movie star. Following a very serious motorcycle accident, he realizes his true passion is a call to the priesthood. (PG 13 version)
