The seminar will be taught as a series of non-threatening classes. No one will be expected to share anything about their losses unless they desire to do so.


Grief Recovery 101 is a program with a purpose: to help people return to the joy of living after having experienced any important loss in their lives. Grief occurs after any kind of important loss that we encounter. Though we expect that most of the people who attend the classes will have experienced the death of a loved one, the concepts presented will also be helpful to anyone who is struggling with grief following other kinds of losses such as separation, divorce, or relationship loss; permanent injury or disability; kidnapping or disappearance of a loved one; a soldier missing in action; chronic or terminal illness; miscarriage, stillbirth, or infertility; adoption; abortion; loss of a pet; loss of our own sense of identity or security.

The program is a series of weekly classes that will begin on Thursday evening, March 25. It is designed specifically for those whose losses have occurred within the previous 12 months. It will be taught as a series of non-threatening classes. No one will be expected to share anything about their losses unless they desire to do so. Each class session will deal with particular topics about grief and will allow for questions and discussion. Classes will meet on consecutive Thursday evenings except for the Thursday before Easter.

The program will be taught by Linda Gill. Linda has Master's degrees in both Counseling and Parent-Infant Nursing. She has over 30 years of clinical nursing experience in critical care of adults, children, and infants, and also maternity nursing. Since 1987 she has worked exclusively with individuals and families who have experienced crisis, grief, and loss. From 1991-2002 she worked as a Clinical Nurse Specialist for Lexington Medical Center, first as an employee, then as a contract service provider, offering support groups and follow-up intervention for families who experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or the critical illness or death of an infant or child. Her work, “Joy in the Mourning”®, began in 1996 and became “Joy in the Mourning”® Center for Life Losses in 2002, a non-profit organization with the mission of helping people return to joy following life-changing life losses. Linda is also in private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in grief and crisis. She provides classes and workshops, speaks for conferences and retreats, writes, and does consulting related to grief and loss.

Lexington Baptist Church to Present “The Passover” musical presentation followed by a Passover Seder on Saturday & Sunday, March 27 & 28, 2010



Lexington Baptist Church will present “The Passover”, a musical/dramatic presentation on Saturday, March 27, and Sunday, March 28, at 5:00 p.m. in their Worship Center located at 308 East Main Street, Lexington. All performances are free and open to the community. Presented by the Music and Drama Ministries, “The Passover” is a music and worship journey about the first Passover (3,500 years ago), our Lord’s last Passover Supper (2,000 years ago), and the Wedding Feast of the Passover Lamb to come!



Each performance will be followed by the observance of a Passover Seder. After each performance, the Seder will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Lexington Baptist Fellowship Hall located on the second floor of the Children’s Ministries Building at the corner of Creps and East Butler Street, Lexington. The cost for the dinner is $5.00 per person and tickets are available for purchase in the Main Church Office. Seating is limited.



The Seder includes the traditional elements as well as dinner with a choice of entrée. Families are encouraged to participate in the Seder together. However, children’s activities (including dinner) are planned for children ages 5 to 7. Childcare is available for birth through age 4. Reservations are required for children’s activities and childcare, and reservations must be made at ticket purchase.



The Passover Seder will be led by Messianic Pastor Manny Aviles and will include the traditional elements of the Passover Seder which has been observed for over 3,000 years. The Seder is a ritual feast observed at the beginning of the holiday of Passover, celebrating God’s salvation of the Jews from Egypt. The feast and holiday were begun in obedience to God’s command, “And you shall tell it to your son on that day, saying, ‘Because of what this God did for me when He took me out of Egypt.’” (Exodus 13:8)
