GRIEF - WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING IT!

Our weekly 8 pm Tuesday evening Zoom gathering will focus on grief and lament.

We'll begin with a 7 minute video by Suzanne Stabile (Yes! We have the sound/video bug worked out!). After that, we will open up the Zoom room for laments (That's biblical, you know!) share a few of our favorite resources (via the chat feature - and we'll publish and share that), and close with prayer. Click here for access.
