22.01.2022 Some seasons of life bring loss and change that mess with our head and heart. How can we manage the ache and the confusion when things don't turn out as we hoped? Seasons for Growth is a 4 week course in a supportive small group that examines how we respond to change, loss and grief. Starting from autumn, it uses the 4 seasons to map a journey from accepting the loss to dealing with it and finding a new balance in life. The next course runs for 4 Monday evenings from 19 Octo...ber. More info and registration here https://bit.ly/2EBYS48 See more
