SUMMARY:Traveling the Road of Grief and Loss
DESCRIPTION:“As we age\, it seems the losses come one after another after another compounding our grief. Perhaps\, in community\, we can name these losses and find ways to navigate grief’s unpredictable waters in ways that can still make room for peace.” -Rev. Kimberly Weir\, Chaplain \n“I am increasingly convinced that grief\, as is aging\, is traumatic. It’s not an immediate trauma\, with a recovery time in sight\, but a long-term trauma journey. Our response\, as caregivers\, can be one of  long-term compassion and support.” -Rev. David Hargrave\, Chaplain \nThere are many types of loss and grief in our lives\, and when grief is unresolved it can damage our health and psyche. Join us for this webinar and hear from three experienced guides on what they have learned and how others may benefit from support and resources. Learn from your own losses and share what you know. You will come away with proven examples of programs and practices. \n\n\nThe free virtual webinar will take place at 12:00pm ET/11:00am CT. There is no cost to attend but registration is required.\n\n\n  \nRegister Here\n\n\n  \nSpeakers:\nRev Kimberly Weir\, Chaplain of 350 residents of affordable housing campus\nRev. David Hargrave\, Chaplain\, Juliette Fowler Communities\nJan Aerie\, Family Counselor\, Gerontologist\, Coordinator Older Adult Ministries

SUMMARY:New Fruits from Wounded Soil: Pentecost and Restorative Justice
DESCRIPTION:What does Restorative Justice mean in practice? \n“I didn’t want to hurt people anymore. That’s when I began the journey toward my healing.”\nThe “New Fruits from Wounded Soil: Pentecost and Restorative Justice” webinar will take place on Thursday\, May 14th at 12:00pm ET/11:00am CT. We welcome you to this conversation with James “Sharif” Menefield where he shares his journey of transformation through restorative justice\, grounded in lived experience\, accountability\, and hope. After decades of incarceration\, Sharif discovered that healing is possible even in the most wounded places. \n“My life story is a testament to the grace and mercy of God.”\nDrawing on the imagery of Pentecost—new life emerging from wounded soil—this conversation invites us to see restorative justice as a practice in which healing\, responsibility\, and dignity take root. \n“Now that I’m free\, I am determined to continue living out the principles of restorative justice.”\nJoin us for a powerful reflection on how justice can bear new fruit when restoration\, compassion\, and courage guide our response to harm. \nThere is no cost to attend this virtual event but registration is required.\n \nRegister Here\n  \nModerator\n \nRev. Angel Luis Rivera-Agosto\, NBA´s Community Engagement Senior Coordinator for Justice Initiatives \nSpeakers\n \nRev. Nora Jacob\, NBA’s Restorative Justice Consultant \n \nJames “Sharif” Menefield

For many of us\, these groups have been places of honesty\, growth\, care\, and shared wisdom. During our time together\, we hope to create room for reflection\, reconnection\, and conversation—honoring the relationships and practices that have shaped this community and listening together for what the next chapter may be calling forth for the Peer Learning and Wellness Groups program. \nPlease note that availability space for the in‑person gathering is limited.
