UMW Faith Talk on Grief

These past few weeks have been heavy with the weight of the COVID-19 health crisis and mourning the loss of loved ones or our normal way of being. Everyone is experiencing some level of grief or deep sorrow, but do we understand how to pause to grieve? On April 23 at 1 p.m. the United Methodist Women will host a #FaithTalks on grief. The panel will discuss the five stages of grief, what the Bible says about grief, and ways we can support one another. Panelist include Dr. Trudy Corry Rankin, a mental health practitioner; the Rev. Dionne P. Boissière Chaplain of the Church Center for the United Nations; Andris Salter, UMW Associate General Secretary; and the Rev. Jes Kast, a pastor in the United Church of Christ. The talk will occur via Zoom Video Conference.
