The End of Life Matters
All Hallows / All Saints Weekend
Death is a part of life, and we cannot be fully human, fully alive, unless we also die. To help the community prepare for the death of our mortal bodies, Transfiguration Episcopal Church is offering three separate programs the weekend of October 30th – November 1st. All programs are open to the public and free of charge. For more info, call 231-238-2188.
Friday, Oct. 30, 1- 3 pm
John Wallace and Elinore Barney will share helpful information about the "Five Wishes" document - a simplified advance directive. They will also be sharing stories from their experiences as Hospice chaplains – what they have seen happens during a person’s last days and hours of life, what is helpful to a dying individual, and what is helpful to the individual’s family.
Saturday, Oct. 31, 1- 4 pmThomas Lynch, nationally-known author, will be leading us in a conversation on "A Good Funeral". In his fifty years as a funeral director, Tom gained a great deal of wisdom about how to design funerals that “get the dead where they need to go and the living where they need to be.”
Sunday, Nov. 1, 10 am - “A Holy Remembrance" Our faith teaches us that death is not the end, and when our mortal bodies pass from this earth, we are not separated from the love of God. On this day, during our Eucharist service, we remember all the people, the "saints", who have gone before us, and how the example of their lives has helped us draw closer to God.
Thank you for visiting our website!
We are a small Episcopal church nestled in the peaceful woods near Indian River, Michigan. Our church family is made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. They found in Transfiguration a warm and welcoming congregation who were dedicated to helping others, new ways to grow in the teachings of Jesus, and the beauty of our ancient liturgy adapted for modern times. We hope that you take the time to browse our site and learn more about us. All are welcome!
