Praying our Goodbyes is a mourning and grief support ministry that addresses grief of any kind—a death, a job loss, a business, a home, or divorce. Utilizing readings from the book, “Praying Our Goodbyes” by Joyce Rupp, The Rev. Christian Basel, helps those in attendance examine their grief and recognize it. All are losses that we grieve and we must grieve in order to recognize that loss. To RSVP or for questions, contact the Rev. Christian Basel, cbasel@saintmichael.org
