Harnessing the Energies of Love

Plan now to attend a wonderful 7 week class starting on Tuesday, August 19, 2008. This educational
program was developed by Rev. Willard Lund to help congregations build stronger communities and learn how to respond to personal difficulties. Through the use of prayer, faith, guest speakers, and trained professionals, the class will explore how to respond to grief and loss, persons with
disabilities, and cancer & life threatening illness. Lay ministry members and those wishing to be lay ministers are encouraged to attend, but the class is open to all of our community. The class will be facilitated by Marcia Lund, Mary Jane Campo, and Eldonna Hazen. Questions are welcomed. More
information will follow.

This program is  intended to give the Nursery Staff an extra pair of hands on busy Sundays and help
parents of younger children get to know each other better.
