Pastor Paula continues an eight part series on the Beatitudes from Matthew 5;1-8 with a focus on why it is so important to mourn. Pastor Paula shares her concern that there is a recent trend toward not having funerals and talks about why it is so important to grieve in order to find the peace that God offers to give us in the face of loss. She talks about the importance of going through the steps of grief and in the community connection shares a way to support others as they mourn, in order to be a source of comfort.
