Throughout each year, we present a series of educational talks / discussions both live and via video conference.  Some of the programs are designed to be in person and interactive, while others are in the form of a teaching with questions and answers (and are recorded).  This page archives the completed series of talks that are of the latter type.  Some of the links will take you to presentation slides or topic outlines.  Others will take you to video recordings of the live sessions.  For those programs that are in process, new links will be present a few days after the completion of the session. 

We are hosting an eight-week program intended to help explore grief from an Orthodox Christian perspective, to connect and pray with others, and to experience renewal and hope.  Together we will share memories and learn to live with joy even though we are changed forever.

This is an eight-week program, beginning Wednesday, January 4 and continuing every Wednesday through the final session on Wednesday, February 22. Because of the extended driving distances of the interested participants, this will be a Zoom based curriculum.  You must let Fr. Andrew know (frandrewa@stnicholasla.com) if you would like to participate so he can send you the Zoom link.

We will be following the curriculum as outlined in the new book Memory Eternal: Living with Grief as Orthodox Christians by Sarah Byrne-Martelli, MDiv, DMin.
