Surviving the Holidays
Navigating the holiday season after the loss of a loved one is hard. Surviving the Holidays is a two-hour seminar that provides practical ways to cope with things like strong or unexpected emotions, social gatherings, and holiday traditions. It also provides the support of others going through the same season.
This event will be on Sunday, November 24th from 12:30pm - 2:30pm. The cost of the event is $5 and includes lunch and a journalling notebook. You can learn more at https://www.holidays.griefshare.org and register using the button below.

Outreach
Fall Refugee Family opportunity
The last few months have presented some challenges to resettling a new refugee family. Thankfully, it looks like there will be an opportunity in September. In preparation for welcoming them, we need to collect furnishings for an apartment. A preliminary sign-up that details some of the items we need can be found here. As we learn more about the family we will be helping, that list will be updated to reflect mor accurate needs. One thing that has changed since helping previous families is that all mattresses and bed frames need to be brand new. If you would like to give towards the purchase of beds or other household items, you can do so here. Thank you for helping is welcome a new family to Lincoln.
