We will use the recently published book “Two Hands: Grief and Gratitude in the Christian Life” by Lynne Baab to explore the relationship between grief and gratitude.

A Matter of Balance (MOB) is specifically designed to reduce the fear of falling and improve activity levels among community-dwelling older adults. The program includes eight two-hour classes presented to a small group of 8-12 participants led by trained coaches. The program enables participants to reduce the fear of falling by learning to view falls as controllable, setting goals for increasing activity levels, making small changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance.

“That’s the thing about pain. It demands to be felt.” John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

There is no good way to avoid pain.  There IS a good way to share it.  All of us has experienced loss.  It can rock our world.  Why not let others walk this difficult road with you?  There is comfort in sharing your grief, especially with others who have also experienced loss in their lives.   That’s why we’re offering a 9-week grief support group at First Church.  The group experience starts on Wednesday evening, November 10, at 7 pm in the Fireplace Room.  We will meet approximately every other week throughout the winter.  Pastor Ron Olson will be facilitating this group experience, using a book titled Beyond the Broken Heart, by Julie Yarbrough.  You will need to pick it up and read the first chapter before the first session on November 10.  The book is free of charge and available at the church.  Pastor Ron Olson
