Wednesday, February 19, 2020, 7:30 pm, Fox Hall: Women of Faith and the First Women’s Rights Movement: Lessons for Today. Christian women were critical to the nineteenth-century women’s rights movement, and their support for women’s suffrage ultimately proved key to securing the passage of the 19 th Amendment. At a time when Christianity and feminism often seem at odds, the history of Christian feminism provides us with surprising and often inspiring stories. But it is also filled with cautionary tales, complexities, and signs of paths not taken. In all of these ways, this history offers valuable lessons for our own time. |
Triangles Women’s Group meets at Sweet Tea Celebrations—Gulfport Blvd - on February 15. Wear a Valentine’s hat—we meet at 10:30 am.
WE CARE--from Pastoral Care team CIRCLE OF COMFORT Under the auspices of our Care Team, St. Alban’s will be offering a Bereavement Support Group for those who have lost a loved one. Grief is a hard road to follow, and you don’t have to travel it alone.It is not uncommon for people to have many struggles around anger, grief, or spirituality as a result of a major loss. Sitting with others and exploring together the anger, grief, frustration, sense of loss or being lost can be helpful in coping with this part of life's journey. There is also an opportunity to look at how stages of grief and the Psalms of Lament help us stay connected to God. The dates for this Spring are Thursdays, 6 to 7 pm beginning March 5th. The group will meet in the Peace Chapel, two doors down from the Office. The Circle of Comfort is open to all - even beyond the boundaries of St. Alban's. If you know of someone who might benefit from this, please do encourage them to attend. The Rev. Muriel de Bussy will be facilitating the group. Please contact Rev. Muriel if the Circle of Comfort will be helpful to you or if you have questions. |
