Events

Recent events have once again called our attention to the depth of racial tensions and unrest at home and around the United States. Protest call for change. It is change not only in police reform but in all unjust power structures that, even if unconsciously, protect the interests of white people. Any book that opens our hearts and minds to conversations on race is helpful in our growth as Christians. To that end, we have made a few recommendations along with suggestions for resources to help with discussions. If you have a group that would be interested in a book study, we have put together a list of books on this topic.

These books will be on preview at the church. If you have any questions, please contact Rev. Barb Marshall at missions@carmelumc.org or Rev. Adraine Curtis at acurtis@carmelumc.org.

GriefShare is a 13-week help and support group for people dealing with the loss of a loved one. Each session begins with a helpful 35-40 minute video followed by a discussion and support group. You are not required to speak during the support session of the program. You can get help just by listening to others. You will be among others who are also grieving the loss of a loved one.

The group is led by people who have experienced grief and successfully rebuilt their lives. They understand how you feel because they have been in the same place. It is not necessary to attend every session. All sessions are independent and will provide some help. We hope to see you at GriefShare.
