NOTICES
Sunday March 29 (Palm Sunday) will be our first night service gathering - at
the school from 4.30pm - 6.30pm. We will gather in the forum for an
interactive, all age worship time and then have a BBQ dinner together on 'the
green'. We would like to do this type of worship gathering about twice a term
at this stage and we would welcome your suggestions as to what will work
best for you as a family. Please feel free to invite your friends as well.
The meal will be a simple BBQ - BYO meat and drinks + a salad OR dessert
to share. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with each other, with
worship and with God.

Here are 7 tips to help during this time:
Here are 7 tips to help during this time:
• If you are mourning for a recent loss make sure to make time for
feeling the emotions that arise, whether they are anger, sadness,
or pain. There is no need to judge these emotions as good or bad
and know that it is Ok to feel these and they will not last forever
as all things come and go. You may even create a little ritual
where you spend time with the picture or object connected to
the person who has passed.
• Friends sometimes get uncomfortable around grief and if they try
and make you feel better in the moment, thank them for this,
and let them know it is normal and natural to feel how you feel.
• Make sure to also take care of yourself during this time, go out on a
walk, make sure to eat healthy.
• Try and open your eyes to the delights around you. It could be a smile
on a child’s face or your own. Smelling a wonderful flower or
maybe tasting your own favorite food. Even in the midst of grief
we can be open to the wonders of life.
• Know your limits and allow yourself to take a break from feeling
when it’s becoming overwhelming, but make sure to let your
grief know that you will come back. Make a time to revisit it
otherwise it will occupy you all day.
• Being altruistic can be a great way to move through grief. Maybe you
would like to volunteer at a homeless shelter or make some
things for those you care about.
• Support has been known to be very helpful and so joining a grief or
support group either online or in person can be enormously
supportive.
More than anything treat yourself with love and kindness during this
time. The grief will seem more acute during some times and more
subtle during others. May you know deeply, “this too shall pass.”
