Highlights

GriefShare: You Don't Have to Grieve Alone

New session begins Sept. 23.

GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions that come with the loss of a loved one. Through the weeks together, participants can find comfort, encouragement, and practical guidance as they learn what to expect and how to navigate their own personal grief journey.


Each weekly session includes a video featuring respected counselors, teachers, and healthcare professionals addressing grief-related topics, followed by small-group discussion and an opportunity to share and support one another.


Whether your loss is recent or happened some time ago, you are welcome. You do not have to be a member of Grace UMC to participate.

For more information, contact Pam Emory-Siedling at 443-537-7567.

The Minor Prophets


During the month of August, we move out of the Major Prophets and head into the Minor Prophets. These texts may be short in length, but they are anything but insubstantial in depth. Traditionally known as "The Twelve," in ancient times these texts were gathered into a single scroll. 


All of these texts continue to tell of the many ways God's people have violated the covenant and call for their repentance. Many of the minor prophets speak about "the Day of the Lord," a day of judgment and reset. For those who are grieved by the many types of evil in the world around them, the Day of the Lord is not a day to fear but a day to long for. It is on this day that all will be set right. 


Make sure you get your August Bookmark or head to our Facebook group for a printable calendar. There are also a great deal of resources to be found at gotgraceumc.org/the-bible-year!
