Weep For Those Who Weep

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO ILLNESS.

CHECK BACK SOON FOR THE RESCHEDULED DATE.

“There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.” This is why Saint Paul calls us to share grief (Romans 12:15). Far too many have lost loved ones to addiction and grieve alone because of the stigma.

Join us to remember and pray for those who have died from addictions. AFIRE board member Robin Rader Knaap (Heartfelt Praise with Robin) will provide comfort through song and reflections. There will be time for sharing, and the evening will conclude with a prayer service. This will take place in the church.

NO COST.

You may attend this event in-person or via Zoom.

Click button below to register. Zoom registrations end at noon (ET) on 3/13. In-person registrations will remain open, and walk-in registrations are welcome. See you tonight!

 

Join us as we reflect on the experiences of the Venerable Matt Talbot, an Irish Catholic who relied on his faith to save him from alcoholism. ALL ARE WELCOME! It’s a perfect way to start off the week of Saint Patrick’s Day, since Matt Talbot was from Dublin, Ireland. It’s also a great way to reflect at this mid-point of the Lenten season, as Matt was fervent about praying, fasting, and giving.

The evening will begin with an informative, reflective, and inspiring talk presented by AFIRE founder Dr. Nina Marie Corona. The entertaining presentation will be followed by a live bagpipe performance by the renowned Dr. Bill Watson of Watson Celtic Pipes and Drums!

WEAR GREEN AND RECEIVE A FREE GIFT! Thanks to very generous supporters, we will have a selection of gifts, including prayer cards , medals, booklets, and more!

Love Never Fails

Love Never Fails

 

NOTE: You may attend this event in-person or via Zoom.

Saint Paul’s letter to the Corinthians (13:8) may have you a bit confused if you have a loved one who struggles with addiction, or whenever relationships become more challenging. It may seem to us that we have loved and given our all, and yet our love has failed. Join us for an evening of reflection as we consider the wisdom that Saint Paul has given us about love and exactly what that means in the reality of our relationships, especially those that are more challenging.

While the main focus will be on relationships involving complications resulting from some form of addiction (and ways to respond in difficult situations), this evening is open to all and meaningful for anyone seeking to understand our call to love and ways to love more fully in their relationships (especially challenging relationships). The evening includes an informational and inspirational presentation by AFIRE founder Dr. Nina Marie Corona. There will be time for Q&A, and we will conclude with a prayer service.

Much more than a talk or presentation, this evening will be a “mini retreat” for all. Nina’s programs are always carefully planned and designed to be a spiritual experience, with music, images, and more that move hearts, minds, and souls.

Suggested donation $20. This is merely a suggestion. You may enter another amount or email us directly.

There’s still time to register! Simply click the button below.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
