Meeting room

We will meet in the basement of the main church building in room 306. This room is in the basement under the office suite, accessible by both stairs and an elevator. Signs will be posted pointing you in the right direction and a person will greet you when you come through the front or back door. We have plenty of parking in the front of the main church (marked by staircase under large white steeple) and have handicapped accessible entrance with a small ramp in the back of the church with handicapped parking.

We are excited to welcome you to our GriefShare Group, facilitated by one of our associate pastors, Rev. Barb Schweitzer. Coffee, Tea, and water will be available during our group; if you'd like to bring a bagged lunch, you are welcome to do so. There will be breaks in our weekly schedule on on three occasions because Barb will be traveling to her son's graduation in Georgia on May 29th, attending the United Methodist Annual Conference on June 20th, and there will be no group on July 4th due to the holiday. We will decide as a group whether we want to make up those groups by combining sessions or by extending our group into July. Should we have inclement weather that is anticipated to impact driving conditions, we will cancel and reschedule too. Let's hope that that doesn't happen. We look forward to walking with you on you grief journey. See you soon!
