Unemployment and Underemployment Spiritual Support Group Are you currently on the quest for a new job as well as a supportive network? Come visit the Unemployment and Underemployment Spiritual Support group. The group meets on the second Thursday of each month from 7:00 to 8:30 am with coffee, juice, and bagels served. The next dates are November 10 and December 8. Using an African method of Bible study, group members will reflect upon how this week's gospel passage affects their lives today. The group will also spend time checking in and sharing networking advice. Many members have found the group helpful in restoring and maintaining their cheer, hope, and perseverance through the job search. Says one participant, "It made me look at the day with new eyes." The Rev. David Killian notes that "Being unemployed or underemployed causes us to question our worth, value, and self esteem. By coming together for prayer and Bible study we reestablish a sense of our true identity as God's children. The group helps us to connect and support one another. We leave refreshed, renewed, and strengthened for the task ahead. The group is a valuable caring resource for those who are in job transition." - Alice Bronnert
