Even as there are hopeful signs on the pandemic horizon, the reality of the losses we have all experienced in some ways feel heavier. Congregations have been unable to gather in our usual ways to grieve the deaths of family members and friends, missed connections with members, and in some ways have lost a year of their life and ministry together. How can we grieve these losses, help our members process their grieves, and begin to heal as congregational life slowly returns to normal?

Congregational leaders (lay and clergy) are invited to join us for a conversation about pandemic grief and congregational life.
