In times of change and transition, in the saying goodbye to a beloved and long-term minister, there are also very unique and very personal journeys on which each one of us in the wider church families travels. Sometimes, on the journey, it can be nice just to be together with others in the family and share stories, enjoy one another’s company, and talk about what we are carrying – or just be there to experience the warmth of being together.
In recognition of this truth, Julie and Kent would like to extend to the wider church family opportunities to just come and be together and share stories, feelings, raise questions – whatever is on your hearts and minds – as we move together in this time of transition and reflect on our journey with Beth. These sessions are designed to be very informal –these are, quite simply, times to be together for those who would like to do so.
Following a chat session this past Tuesday evening, the next chat sessions will take place on Thursday, January 17^th, at 7 p.m. (there is no choir this week due to Esther Chang being on vacation); and Friday, January 25^th at noon.
If you are interested in attending and would find that childcare would make that easier for you to do, please email Julie at jflowers@fbcbeverly.org to request that service.
Additionally, both Julie and Kent are always available to all church family members for phone calls, emails, drop-in visits, lunches, coffee dates, or whatever else feels good and helpful. They can always be reached at 978-922-3295 or by email at jflowers@fbcbeverly.org or kharrop@fbcbeverly.org.
