Have you been asked to be the executor or health care advocate for a family member or friend?  Are you worried about the burden your own passing may be on your loved ones? Does getting your affairs in order make you anxious because you don’t know where to start? Many of us on the Congregational Care Team share these concerns, so we are sponsoring a workshop on end-of-life issues. We are bringing in experts to guide us on various aspects pertaining to this topic and the goal is to have your plan in place by the end of the 6 weeks.
