Struggling with loss, grief & loneliness? Feel the love with us at our evening of stories, music and more.

Behind the mask of a pandemic are faces of loneliness and loss, but love is not far behind. Find that love at the Lincroft Presbyterian Church gathering with music, stories and prayer, along with handcrafted surprises on Friday, February 11 at 7:30 pm in the church sanctuary, as well as online via zoom. Decorated in blue hearts and intimate group tables, the evening is designed to bring together people who find themselves alone or seeking company and community.

"We heard from family and friends that Valentine's Day was not necessarily the hearts and romance but more heartbreak; we are gathering to be a community to help one another get through the joys and sadness we all feel and in particular as the pandemic continues to isolate us from those we love," notes Pastor Diane Ford, who will lead the evening.

Details are online at the Church website and on Facebook.
