The Bereavement Group
Third Wednesdays - April 15, 10:30-11:30AM
Parish Center Classroom ~ Oakland
The Bereavement Group at St. Peters has been in existence for more than 10 years. Meetings occur on the third Wednesday of the month at 1030 a.m. in the classroom area of the Parish Center. We can also meet one-on-one by appointment. Our attendees may not know each other when they first join our group, but they have shared experiences of sadness, loneliness, denial and depression. Holidays, anniversaries and birthdays can be challenge for us all. Having a safe place to discuss feelings with others who understand all too well what we are feeling, can be very self-affirming. We also know that the journey would be much more of a challenge without our Christian faith. We believed that Christ has suffered and died for us and returned to Heaven to prepare an eternal place for us all. Please consider joining us no matter where you are on your grief journey. For more information about our group or to ask any questions, please contact Elaine Boyd
at 240.321.5538.

Respect For All Life
Gifts for Life: The Respect for All Life Team is collecting items for the babies and mothers of The James Isaac House. If you would like to help with this ongoing outreach, you’ll find a rack next to the basement door inside the Oakland church to place items such as diapers, wipes, lotions, infant clothing, and even gifts for the new moms, when the church is open. Our team members will gather and deliver items to the James Isaac House on a regular basis. We will soon arrange for a drop-off location at the Lake Center, as well. Please watch for updates and thank you for supporting life in such a loving way.
