Join us for the Prime Timer’s Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, October 14, at 11:30 a.m. for “Finishing Well: Faithful Planning for Life’s Final Chapter,” presented by Pastor David and Pastor Amy. We understand that thinking about our own death and funeral can be difficult.  We’ll explore Christian perspectives on death and dying, funeral and memorial services at Stonybrook, and practical ways to make our wishes known to the people we love. We’ll also share Stonybrook’s funeral policy and a simple funeral pre-planning worksheet to help you begin the conversation and record the things that matter to you. Come for lunch, conversation, and a chance to think about how planning ahead can be a gift to those we love.  A free-will offering will be taken to cover the cost of food.  Please click here if you plan to attend.  If you have questions, contact Bill Bartter (wbartter@att.net or 614-403-8272).
