News from Growing thru Grief
This October, Growing thru Grief marked ten years of offering support and education to those grieving the loss of a loved one! As we continue, here is the current schedule for the rest of the month and November:

We meet at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 1200 W. Cornwallis, from 4 to 6 pm. All are welcome.
Lector Training
Picture
Are you interested in becoming a lector and proclaiming the Word of God at Mass? There will be two training options:
  • Wednesday, November 29 at 7:00 pm
  • Sunday, December 3 at 10:45 am
Both should last about a half hour. We will do a short run-through, practice at the microphone, and discuss the ministry scheduling software.
If you are interested in attending the training, please contact Jessica Singagliese.
Christmas Ornament Making
We hope you and your children will join us on Saturday, December 2nd to make Christmas Ornaments. The Knights of Columbus will make breakfast. We will be making ornaments - we are going to ask the children that for every ornament they make, they make another to donate to Meals on Wheels. When the volunteers bring the Meals they will give the ornament to them - a nice way to share some Christmas Spirit. Please sign up here, so we can plan for supplies. If you decide to join us at the last minute that is fine too!
