Easter Weekend & COVID19 Programs

Posted April 10, 2020

Dear Friends

On this holy and solemn day, Good Friday, I am in awe of the eternal Peace and Forgiveness we have been given through Jesus’ sacrifice for us, God’s Presence that never leaves us, and His resulting Resurrection Power to face life with strength and purpose.

Is grief erased? No, I wish that were the case. Instead, together, we have the power to transform through grief into the most compassionate and purposeful version of ourselves. FYI, if you haven’t watched the video series The Chosen, I highly recommend! It’s the BEST production I’ve every seen on the life of Jesus and perfect for Holy Week!

Here are this Week’s Coming Highlights:

Operation Meal Plan meal distribution on Easter Sunday
Easter Sunday Gift Bag Distribution
Sharing our latest Zoom workshop video on Cooking with Foraged Greens
Offering new, live online Zoom grief group support groups for widows, widowers, and our non-widowed community
Offering our FREE grief guide download.

Also, to help at this unprecedented time, we have created the Widow Strong COVID19 Rapid Response website page where you can connect with our upcoming events, programs, and services. We are #StrongerTogether!

Please partner with Widow Strong as we double-up our efforts to serve our widows, their children, and community in-need. By this Sunday, we will have distributed 200 meals and personal hygiene products as well as hosted FREE online workshops and weekly prayer meetings!

I love the following verse and am so thankful for the beauty of our community as we help one another!

¹⁶This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. ¹⁷If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? ¹⁸Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”
1 John 3:16-19 (NIV)

Your tax-deductible generosity is the fastest way to keep our center open and our programs available, as we fulfill the mission of James 1:27 to widows and their fatherless children.

Thank you for your generosity! Please Click Here to give.

We are #StrongerTogether,
