June 4 – Communion and Confirmation Sunday
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 will meet from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. in the Woodridge Conference Room. Please use the Jackson Road entrance.
The group starts Thursday, June 1 and will meet June 8, 15, and 22. The group will not meet June 29 or July 6, but will resume on July 13 and meet July 20, 27, and August 3.
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. The eight session group is open to the public.
