Life Transitions in the Age of COVID

May 14, 21, 28 from 4:00 – 5:00 PM
In these challenging times, it is important to face the reality that you or someone you love may become ill. What do you need to do to prepare?  What are the legal, medical and spiritual decisions you may have to face? Rev. Anne will be offering a three week class on these topics on Thursday afternoons. Also participating in the classes will be Jane Trudeau, whose experience as an attorney will help us explore what is a  health care proxy, and how we fill out a medical directive. When medical questions come up, Rev. Anne will gather them and Dr. Kate Berg has graciously agreed to answer them as best she can. 
We will meet with tender courage, my friends.
