GROWING THRU LOSS
Beginning in September, the Growing Thru Loss program will once again begin a six week series at Roseville Lutheran Church. There is a need for facilitators for small grief groups. Facilitator orientation training provided. You need only a loving heart and willingness to provide guidance for six weekly evening sessions. St. John's has been involved with Growing Thru Loss for many years and currently Susan Amos Palmer is one of the program co-directors. If this interests you, call Anne Marie at 651-633-8333.

BEFRIENDER MINISTRY
Befriender Ministry at St. John's is very ALIVE. We currently have 20 individuals who have completed training and now have a relationship with a parishioner who has asked for a companion. Many of our befriended parishioners are homebound, or walking through grief after a loss, or isolated because of a chronic illness or have little family support nearby. We all need each other in this world and the Befriender Ministry helps bring people together and bring the gospel to bear on each others lives. Each month the Befrienders gather to support one another, share prayer and have a little fun. If you are interested in becoming a Befriender, training begins this fall. Call Anne Marie or Judy Quayle at 651-633-8333.
