We meet in-person only. At this point, new participants are welcome through word-of-mouth or referrals or if they read about this group through eNews or other outlets.
We’ll meet as consistently as possible. You don’t have to attend every session. On the other hand, knowing that folks will gather helps make sure the group can be present to support each other. If you CANNOT make an upcoming gathering, please let Rev Gail know by email or text that you cannot attend: gaildoktor@mac.com, cell: 978.273.0308.
We will offer each group as long as the community need continues. Both groups are free, and open to the community. Rev. Gail Doktor, trained as a hospice chaplain, will facilitate. Pass along this info to anyone whom you know, who might need such a support network.
If the groups no longer fuffill a need, we will also take a hiatus. We’ll evaluate this based on whether people participate or not. ** On the other hand, if for any reason, you want to participate, but the meeting times don’t work, please let Rev Gail know, so we can adjust times to accommodate life’s schedules and remain meaningful, or add sessions at another time! **
Questions should be directed by text or voicemail to Rev Gail’s cell: 9078.273.0308. Thank you! — Rev Gail Doktor, gaildoktor@mac.com, cell: 978.273.0308
