It has been said that “Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do. Thinking about death clarifies your life.” (C. Chang).

On Wednesday afternoons from 4:30-5:30 in June and one in July, this class, which will be a spiritual conversation, will take place in the Congregational Church (Boothbay Harbor) library. Everyone is welcome. Sign up by calling or stopping by the church office (633-4757). The course schedule follows:
