Grief Recovery Series

by

1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month October through December
1:30 pm

How does the heart understand grief when it is broken by the death of a loved one?

To survive and live forward, those who grieve must find answers. As we grieve, slowly we understand that grief is not a crisis of faith—it is a crisis of the heart. Here you will find comfort, guidance, and spiritual support on your journey through grief. The hope is that these resources will lead you toward renewed hope and fullness of life as you emerge at last from the darkness of grief into the light of new life, with your soul restored through the steadfast love and faithfulness of God.

This class will meet 2 times a month, the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month. The start date will be October 3rd. Gail Susskind & Suzanne Morgan are leading this series.

Spring Study

Geese Flying - Book Study Advertisement with Text When the Saints Go Flying In By Joesph Yoo, Wednesday Evening Study, May 10

When the Saints Go Flying In – May 10- June 14 @ 7:00pm

By Joseph Yoo

Our spring Wednesday evening study is a book by a friend of Suzanne’s who is now an Episcopal Priest. I fell in love with this book and wanted to share the wit and wisdom that Joe shares in his first book. It is available on Amazon. This will study will be a hybrid study, both online and in person. Subscribe to the CUMC emails for the Zoom Information. For the first meeting, we will cover the Intro and Chapters 1 & 2. Below is from the description from Amazon.

When the Saints Go Flying In…

  • Is a resounding testament that there is no separation between the so-called secular and religious realms.
  • Reminds us that God’s love and mysterious presence are found in every corner of our world.
  • Is for anyone who may be struggling on their journey of faith or seeking the affirmation that they matter to God even if God may not matter to them, yet.
  • Is for anyone looking at the world today and asking questions that may not have clear, precise answers.
  • Is for those who feel overwhelmed when confronting the messiness of the world.
  • Offers an invitation to not be afraid of the mess but courageously enter it, for it is precisely in the messiness and brokenness of this world that God is found.
  • Is an invitation to search for God, only to discover that God has been with us this entire time.
