Retirement: Transition and Purpose

First Tuesday of every month, 10-11 am via Zoom
This group is for people who have retired or are entering retirement and are seeking to learn and share their experiences with others. Grounded in prayer, the group is a safe and confidential space to help navigate the changes and challenges that come with retirement. Retirement: Transition and Purpose does not provide legal or financial advice. Instead, we gather for conversation to find support, direction, and fulfillment in our post-retirement lives.

Grief, Hope, and Healing Together

Fourth Wednesday of every month, 6-7 pm via Zoom

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Grief is something we all go through at some point in our lives and when we do, comfort can seem very far away. This is a support group for those who have experienced the recent loss of a friend or loved one or are going through a longer-term bereavement process. The group does not provide formal grief counseling. We gather for conversation in a safe and supportive environment to express our sorrow and to begin to find hope and healing together. Led by the Reverend Meredith Ward, we meet on Zoom on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 6-7 pm via Zoom.

Grounded in scripture and prayer, the group is a safe and confidential space to share experiences, get support, and express concerns about job insecurity. Forward Together does not offer job placement or teach practical job search tools like resume writing. Instead, the group focuses on the spiritual aspects of our work and supports members in discerning next steps in their lives. Led by the Reverend Meredith Ward, Associate Rector for Pastoral Care, Forward Together normally meets via Zoom on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month from 6-7 pm.
