Nevin Cooley, a deacon at Trinity United Church of Christ, 2340 State St., East Petersburg, noted that the church’s pastor told him how often church members would approach him with many questions regarding end-oflife situations. After realizing how many senior church members attend Trinity, the stewardship committee, of which Cooley is a member, decided to host seminars for three consecutive weeks during the month of October. “We thought it would be better if members and the broader community could think about these things,
not in a moment of crisis, but calmly and be able to make decisions for themselves that would help their families,” said Cooley. The church was going to offer the seminars last year, but that plan did not come to fruition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the committee was deciding how to structure the end-of-life preparation series, the members came up with three main categories: funeral planning, preparation of one’s estate through wills and trusts, and hospice care. All seminars are free to the public and will take place in the Isenberg Hall of the church at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be provided.
