Hands & Hearts Group - ON HOLD
2025-09-12 13:00 - 15:00, 2025-09-05 13:00 - 15:00
Welcome all Creative Spirits and Crafters to the new, weekly group ‘Hands & Hearts’ on Friday afternoons from 3-5pm in Murray. Many of us already know the kind of meditative solace and cadent creativity that working with your hands can offer. This group is an opportunity to talk, share, relate, and relax as we work on our projects together. Bring your knitting, crochet work, sewing, quilting, hooking, (any kind of handwork you enjoy), as well as your news, your thoughts, your worries, and whatever’s on your mind. There will always be available supplies in our ‘fiber library’ if you’d like to start a new project, or try something new. If you are not a crafter but would love the camaraderie and the chance to meet new friends, you are very welcome.

For more information, please contact Deana

USH Book Club - Zoom
2025-09-11 14:30 - 16:00
The USH Book Club meets from 2:30 – 4 PM on the 2nd Thursday of each month, September through June, on Zoom. If you would like to participate in a discussion of the book and related issues, please contact Ginny Allen at fiddlenurse1@gmail.com. An email with the Zoom link will be sent to you several days before the meeting.

The goals of the USH Book Club are:

to foster communication and community, as do our other small church groups, and
to read fiction and non-fiction that represents a variety of styles, eras and genres.

Format:
We begin with a period of check-in. Each meeting has a designated leader who guides the discussion, initially giving each participant an opportunity to share his/her thoughts on the book. This is then followed by a full group discussion. We end each meeting with members sharing the titles of books, movies or TV shows that they would like to recommend to others.

Helping Parents Heal - Library/David's Den
2025-09-06 10:00 - 12:00
Helping Parents Heal — Hartford is an affiliate chapter of Helping Parents Heal (https://www.helpingparentsheal.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting parents whose children have passed. Our support group allows for an open discussion of spiritual experiences and afterlife evidence in a non-dogmatic way. We welcome everyone regardless of their religious or non-religious backgrounds.
Helping Parents Heal recognizes several factors that contribute to the healing process: caring support from others, interaction with people who have also experienced the loss of a child, service to others, personal transformation, and discovering a reason for hope. This hope comes from acknowledging our spiritual/energetic natures and understanding that our loved ones continue on in another realm after physical death.
Parents, grandparents, and siblings of a child who has passed at any age are welcome to join us. Our group meets on the first Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. – noon. Please contact Pamela Hamad if you would like more information at hphhartford@gmail.com or (941) 544-1083.
