Spiritual Funeral Planning 101

NEW DATE MAY 12

Leaving Your Legacy: Part 1 
Funeral Planning as a Spiritual Practice
Pastor Wendy will present some of the nuts and bolts of planning for a funeral at Trinity. We’ll have some information available from the Memorial Committee, and suggestions for how to have intentional conversations with loved ones about your desires for end of life care. This “lunch and learn” is appropriate for planning for your own funeral/end of life wishes, or for gaining information about how to support loved ones.

Sign up here or in the narthex.
