“GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays” Seminar & Luncheon

Are you dreading the thought of having to face this Holiday season without

a loved one who has died? Our Surviving the Holidays seminar will help

you prepare for the challenges that can make this time of year so difficult

for those who are grieving, and find the strength, comfort and hope you’ll

need to make it through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and every

other day. To learn more about the seminar and find other helpful resources,

please visit www.griefshare.org/holidays.

We encourage grieving families to attend this event together. Teens may

view the seminar video with adults, then break into a separate group during

our discussion time. We will also be offering a special lesson and activities for

children (ages 5 through 12) in an adjacent room. Nursery care is available

for children under 5.

The registration and payment deadline is Wednesday, October 31. Every

person must be pre-registered (regardless of age), so we can make sure that

we’ll have enough volunteers, materials, and food to serve everyone. Please

contact Ellen Morgenstern at ellstemor@gmail.com or (239) 642-7165 to

let us know the number (and names) of all people attending, and whether

they are adults, teens, or children (specify their ages).

The $10 per adult/teen registration fee includes a “Holiday Survival Guide”

workbook/devotional and lunch. (Scholarships are available for anyone who

can’t afford to pay.) There is no fee for children under 13. Please make your

check payable to “Wesley United Methodist Church”, write “STH – 11/10/12”

on the memo line, and mail it to the address given below after you register.

Remember: You are not alone! Receiving support, encouragement, and

advice from other Christians who have “been there” may be the best Holiday

gift you can give yourself and your family this year! Please join us — You’ll be

really glad that you came!
