"Growing Through Grief"	"nnn
	Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) Grieving is an active process more than a slow passive waiting or an attempt to divert the pain until it doesn't hurt so much anymore. At First & Calvary we have seen the value of small group ministry in providing information, support, encouragement, laughter, and faith to strengthen us and help us make sense of life and death. That is why we are offering Growing Through Grief as a means to help those who have lost loved ones recently or in the past. Upcoming class dates are May 6, 13, 20, and 27th, beginning at 7:00 PM and ending at 8:30 PM in the Reception Room (below the Sanctuary). A small fee of $5.00 to help defray the cost of the workbook is part of the registration. Please call us at 862-5068 if you would like to register for this small group class or if you have any questions about it. Greg Ellis, Associate Pastor
