Thursday, St. Mary Church will offer the second in a series of talks focusing on pain and suffering. Entitled “Hearts and Minds,” these presentations will seek to help folks understand the human reality of suffering.
The presenters will also offer solace and practical means for coping with our own pain and suffering as well as the anguish of others. The members of Chelsea Ministerial Association invite everyone to join the group at 6:30 p.m. for pre-talk, refreshments and hospitality, and the lectures take place from 7-8 p.m.
The organizers would appreciate knowing you will be joining us by emailing [email protected]. This will enable us to provide enough refreshments.
