Have you and your parents talked about the Hard Stuff? What is your plan or theirs for an incapacitating illness or a devastating accident? Or worse…death?
Give the people who love you the most the gift of not having to make those decisions for you.

Join us in August for our 3-session series on The Hard Stuff.

  Registration is required.

The cost is $10 per binder (which covers all 3 sessions). The binder will include all the class information and forms and is an easy reference and place to keep your important documents.

Putting Your House in Order:

August 12 at 1:00 PM in the Lecture Hall, OR 6:30 PM via ZOOM. 

  • Presented by Rev. Laura Murphy, Director of Development for the Missouri Methodist Foundation.

    If you are 18 or older the greatest gift you can give yourself & your family is peace of mind. If you are seriously incapacitated or, worse, die, does your family know what to do? Do they know how to take care of your bills, your Facebook & Instagram page, your will, social security or bank account,... your pets? Do they even know where to find all your important documents and passwords?

    In these 90 minutes, you can take the practical steps to provide just such a "priceless gift" to your loved ones.

The Conversation:

 August 19 at 1:00 PM in the SMB (Student Ministry Building), OR 6:30 PM via ZOOM.

  • Presented by Carol Quiring, RN and CGE (Certified Grief Educator), Certified in Grief Movement, Operations Consultant for Woods Chapel Church, and Retired CEO of Saint Luke’s Home Care & Hospice.

    Do you know the wishes of every member of your family?

    Do any of you want to be kept alive with extreme measures?

    Do you want a feeding tube that will prolong their/your life even if they/you are in a coma you are unlikely to recover from? 

    Cremation or burial?

    Ventilator or not?

    Do you want your family to always wonder if they made the decision that you would have wanted? 

    Understanding what happens when a loved one is diagnosed with a serious life-altering or terminal illness causes stress and pressure on families at a time when every moment is precious.  But once you've outlined how you want to be cared for and just how much medical intervention is enough, it will relieve you and your loved ones of difficult decision-making when there really isn't curative treatment. Have that conversation before you can't. Give your family this gift.

    You are NEVER too young or old to provide these answers to the people who love you the most and who will be forced to make these decisions if you don't.

    This program will also explore in some detail funeral planning and options that are available to families today.
