A Gathering for Grieving Hearts

Sunday, Feb. 8, at 7pm
a time of prayer and reflection, candlelight and connection

There are times when we are hurting and we need to know we are not alone, especially in this season of Valentines and “happy hearts”! Some are grieving for loved ones who have died. Some are suffering from broken relationships, unemployment, and other kinds of loss. We need to feel connected to others who understand. And we need the light God shines in the midst of our blues.

Whether you are feeling sad or you just want to support others going through tough times… you are welcome to join in this time of remembrance, companionship, and hope. The service is being held in Manchester, a “re-scheduling” of our snowed-out prayer service last December… but with a February twist. I hope you can be there.

Sunday, Feb. 8 at 7:00pm
Gethsemane Lutheran Church, St. James Hall
Pennacook St. and Pine St.
Manchester, New Hampshire

Feel free to bring… pictures of those you are missing, a poem to read or a story to share, a friend or two, or just bring yourself.

If you'd like to have pictures of those you are remembering put into a slide show, please send them to Crystal Mohrmann at crystal24@gmail.com.

This event is sponsored by… By the Way; Birch Tree Counseling, Londonderry, NH; and Rivier College Students of Ailing Mothers and Fathers.
