What’s Happening at Woodridge
 

Food Pantry volunteering – Second Saturday mornings – contact the church office if you would like to help out

An outdoor collection box for the Cranston Interfaith Food Pantry is located at the outside entrance at 30 Jackson Road, Cranston – bring your donations anytime

 

Thursday afternoon Grief Support Group open to the public

This gathering is for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. 

The group meets 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. in the Woodridge Conference Room. Please use the Jackson Road entrance to the upper level of the Parish House building. 

For many people, a grief support group makes the process a little easier by building connections with others who are also grieving. A grief support group can have a positive impact on mental health. Studies show that these groups help to reduce depressive symptoms in people who have lost a loved one.

The group is facilitated by Rev. Burton Bagby-Grose, M.Div., Bereavement and Volunteer Coordinator for the VNA of Care New England.
