LAKEWOOD HEALTH SYSTEM
Grief Support Class February 2, 2010-March 9, 2010 3:00 to 4:30 P.M. Six Consecutive Tuesdays located at Lakewood Health System Main Campus (Hospital) Fireside Room For questions or to register, contact Gayle at 218-894-8623. Coming to a support group for bereavement and grief can be like a journey from "Sunset to Sunlight." Bereavement and grief can darken the soul and lay a heavy burden on our lives. Sharing and telling the stories of our lives after we have suffered death, divorce, loss of pets, possessions and even our sense of family and faith, can help us come out of the darkness of despair, depression and sadness.

ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Episcopal missionaries came to Minnesota Territory in the 1850’s, working up the Mississippi River and reaching out to local Native Americans and pioneer settlers alike. In 1871 the Rev. Joseph Gilfillan arrived in Brainerd, a “wild and wooly” railroad and logging center of about 400 persons, and made the rounds of saloons, hotels and boarding houses to invite one and all to church. For a time services were held in the pine woods of what is now Gregory Park, until the first St. Paul’s Church was built. That wooden structure was replaced in 1931 by the current stone church; an education and office wing in matching stone was added in 1988. For more than a century St. Paul’s has welcomed rich and poor of all races, backgrounds, and circumstances to take part in our ministries and outreach programs, solemn worship and gala celebrations. We invite you to make St. Paul’s your Brainerd Lakes Area church home.
