Examining Personal Stress in a Chaotic World is a 45-minute Sunday program for adults to share concerns and feelings about stressful events they may be experiencing. Sunday, October 20 at 11:15am after the service in the Fellowship Hall, lower level, Joe Gillotti will be the facilitator. Childcare will be provided, but please RSVP to Joe for that by October 13. We all have lots of stress, personal, family, political and so on. After the period spent sharing, we will discuss techniques to help dissipate the sometimes-uncontrollable stressful emotions that have a powerful negative effect on people. The techniques can also help to bring greater clarity to our thinking.
