Pastor's Desk - When a Widow is born

Usually, we think about babies being born. They come into the world, are nurtured, cared for, attended to until they reach maturity and a new cycle begins.

What happens when a widow is born? That person who was married to another and the other has departed due to COVID-19, accident or a deadly disease. Recently I have been faced with the phenomenon of widowhood as there are a few persons I have discovered have been 'born' into this unwelcome phase of their lives.

Pastor's Desk - Family

Dear Family I am happy to greet you again.

This month the light is focused on families. This is something we need to do all the time but especially this month we want to draw attention to our families. I speak of those within this church and those in the community.  My main concern with families biological and church at this time is essentially how grief is being experienced during this unusual period.
