10:30 AM “We Gather Together”… A Grief Support Group

It was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who wisely observed: “There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.”

St. Thomas’ will offer a 6 part program after Easter for those who have or are experiencing loss of any kind….a death, a relationship, a pet, a job etc. Each of these and other situations hold the potential for grieving, a ‘normal’ yet hard emotion to experience. To walk this journey with others is a way to navigate some of the challenges.

The Rev. Caroline Stewart will join The Rev. Tom Murphy to cofacilitate this offering. Caroline is a long-time member of St. Thomas’ before her call to ministry over 20 years ago. She holds a Masters in Counseling from the University of Virginia, a Masters in Pastoral and Spiritual Care from Loyola University and a Post Graduate Degree in Anglican Studies from Virginia Theological Seminary. She has served a variety of parishes in Maryland, been the Interim Episcopal Chaplain at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, served on the faculty at The Center for Spiritual Support Training at GBMC, and is a Mental Health First Aid Instructor.
