FamilyLife's Weekend To Remember
February 24th-26th 2012
Hershey Lodge and Convention Center
This is not a large counseling session, and you will not be asked to participate in small groups. Rather, you will receive marriage-changing principles that you can take home and apply to your daily lives that will strengthen your marriage. Whether you are newly engaged or have been married for 50 years, you will find value in the tools provided at the getaway.

GriefShare begins a new session....
Aldersgate will again offer GriefShare, the nationally recognized grief support group, with 13 sessions beginning MONDAYS, from 6:30 - 8:30 pm, February 2Oth through May 21st. The loss of a loved one is one of life's most difficult challenges, and we are never prepared for the impact and devastation that such a loss can bring. The determination to "keep a stiff upper lip at all costs" can end up being very costly to our emotional, physical, and spiritual health. GriefShare will help you understand that you do not have to go through this dark and painful time alone. The support and compassion that you receive from others in this small group setting will encourage you to grow personally through this loss and find hope for the days ahead.
Co-leaders will be Retired Pastors Jim Murr and Tom Sanagorski. This group is open to the community, and there is no charge.
Please contact Judy Sterner at the Office of Congregational Care at AUMC, 854-4276 to register and to receive more information.
Please plan to join us!
