Is there such a thing as “good grief? Since Charlie Brown is not available to tell us, the Called to Care Team is sponsoring an exploration of “good grieving” beginning June 19 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. We will meet at Bethel on Tuesday evenings from June 19 through August 7 to consider the whys, whens, wheres, and hows of good grieving. We intend to provide a safe environment where people touched by loss (that’s just about all of us) can learn more about moving with and through grief to new life, relying on one another and the wisdom of the Bible.
