Nearly 30 percent of college students have experienced the loss of a family member or close friend over the past year, according to statistics from Actively Moving Forward, an organization that supports young adults who are grieving. In addition, millions of adults at various stages of life experience loss and grief in response to experiences such as death, illness or injury, career hardship, and an assortment of tragic and life-altering events.

In order to provide a community of support, Hendricks Chapel is sponsoring “A Dinner Conversation on Spirituality, Loss, and Grief.” Following a free meal, chaplains and guests from a diversity of religious, spiritual, moral and ethical perspectives will provide participants with a casual and inclusive opportunity to share and receive stories, and build community for the sake of peace and healing.

All are welcome to this dinner and discussion.
