New Grief Support Group

​For those who have experienced the loss of a loved one, a new six-week Grief Support Group will begin on Friday, Feb. 12 from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and go through Friday, March 19th.
The goals of the group are to provide educational information about grief and loss, to assist members in developing coping and adapting skills and to offer emotional support. 
Church of the Nativity has assembled sizable tents in order to provide some shelter for those of you who feel more comfortable to sit outdoors rather than indoors.  We also highly encourage you to bring your own chairs as seating is limited.  Reminder:  We still need to comply with facial mask requirements and social distancing of 6 feet even if it's outdoors, and when inside or on church grounds at all times.
