NEW PROGRAM
: Making Meaning in a Time of Loss
Mondays, 4-5PM, June 15, 22, 29
Embedded within this pandemic and cultural upheaval is a host of losses. What a harsh reality.
Being compassionate and relational human beings, we feel not only our own pain but that of others. We ask “What can I do?” To begin to address that question, we need to recognize it is also the time of possibility: a time to explore, reflect, clarify, and create new meaning and vision.
Please join
Rev. Marti Bishop, MS and
Pat Francek, LCSW, as they lead us to identify some of our losses, our fears, and our possibilities. We will explore how one makes meaning in times of life, death and uncertainty.
