If there will be an empty chair at your holiday table because of the death of a loved one, “Surviving the Holidays” will help your journey through this season. We will be hosting Surviving the Holidays, a special two-hour event on Monday, November 6 at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. If you or someone you know has lost a loved one, we hope you will attend. Please register at the church Welcome Center or click here. Surviving the Holidays will help bring that empty chair from a reminder of mourning to a remembrance of joy.
