Heart to Heart Grief Support



The next six-week session of La Casa's Heart to Heart Grief Support group begins Tuesday, October 14 and runs

through November 18, from 10am-12:00 in Room 207. Facilitated by Barbara Olson, the class is designed to assist you in: moving through the grieving process by providing the support of others who are also living with grief, allowing you to express your thoughts in a safe and supportive environment, and helping you discover ways to keep loved ones present in your heart while you build hope for your future. You do not have to be a member of La Casa de Cristo to attend, so please share this information with friends who may need loving support. Register here.

What did Martin Luther say about music?

All of the above. Martin Luther is most commonly known for his theological influences. His upbringing and musical education strongly influenced his theological beliefs. He believed music should play in the church, and changed the way music was written and performed.
