It's a Life and Death Matter:
Thinking about Death in the Midst of Life
Death, it is hard to talk about, hard
to think about, hard to understand, and yet we all know that this is part of life, something we will all experience. In this seminar, we
will explore life's most personal experience and how we, as the living, can come to understand God's presence in death.

June 1 -- Lost in Wonder, Love and Praise -- Rev. Bob McCallister will introduce us to the topic of God's presence in death through his own experiences and research.
He will explore how we in the midst of life understand death
and the world once our loved one's have parted.

June 8 -- Final Conversation: Helping the Living and Dying Talk. -- Please join Dr. Jody Kellas as she explores this new book by Maureen P. Keeley and Julie M. Yingling. In this first part of the book, Jody will introduce the topic of talking about ensuing death and the types of conversations that take place.

June 15 -- Finding Peace -- Kara James Estenson, Chaplain at Bryan Hospital, will provide us with her experience in talking about death as a chaplain and the role
of faith in approaching death.

June 22--Final Conversations 2 -- Dr. Kellas will conclude her discussion of Keeley and Yingling's book and help us construct some approaches
to talking about death.

June 29 -- NO Seminar: Join us for Presbyterians in the Park -- 10:30 worship at the Antelope Park Bandshell, followed by a potluck luncheon in the Auld Recreation Center.
