Events

A thirteen week cycle of GriefShare will be held on Mondays beginning at 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.  The first meeting is on Monday August 28 and the final one on Monday November 20. The program is designed help people heal after the death of a loved one.  Each session includes Christ-centered video instruction, group discussion (no one is required to speak - just listening is okay.), and a personal workbook study.  The program is at no cost.  It is sponsored by St. John Lutheran Congregation in rural Milford and is being held at Kingdon's Gardens in the lower level.  You may register at griefshare.org > find a group.

Each session is helpful by itself so you may skip a week if necessary.  You may start at any week during the cycle.

Explore resources & services available for seniors in the Jasper & Newton County Indiana areas.  The program will feature vendors that cater to senior citizens, educational breakout sessions & screenings.  Free breakfast included.  Senior flu shots will also be available.  Contact the Newton County Health Department to reserve your free senior flu shot by call 21-285-2052 by September 20.
