Living Well in the Midst of Grief

Monday, February 6, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

1st and 3rd Mondays | 5:00-6:00 PM | Graham Parlor or via Zoom

When someone you love dies, you experience grief in a number of ways and one size does not fit all. The way we react to and process grief depends on the relationship, manner of death, if and how you were able to say goodbye, your beliefs, your background, and your personality.

We also grieve many things other than death and we want to acknowledge this also. There is grief that comes from loss of a health, loss of a job, sending a child off to school, losses that come from divorce, to mention a few.

Please reach out to the Rev. Cheryl Brainard at [email protected] for more information.

CHRISTIAN FORMATION

GIVE ONLINE


Welcome Children Service Times Location Membership

We extend a sincere welcome to you and we hope you will come and find your place at St. James. We have long been an active, working church with parishioners who play a vital role in parish ministries and community life. The range of St. James' ministries is as broad as the interests of its members.

Christian Formation for children endeavors to support and supplement the family's efforts to raise children as followers of Christ. Children's Formation includes Sunday classes as well as seasonal festivals and intergenerational events. Preschool ages 2 to 5 years, and grades 1 through 5 use a lectionary-based curriculum enhanced with art and music. Middle school classes include confirmation preparation and current event issues. Senior high classes engage in weekly Bible study from a young person's perspective.

Membership at St. James, as with any other Episcopal parish, is governed by Canonical requirements of the Episcopal Church.
