48 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2021 Life Guide Bible Study "Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Philippians 4:8. Spring has arrived and with it more hope for the return to normal activities. Since we do not typically meet during the summer months, we will be contacting regular participants and interested residents regarding plans for the fall. We will continue to be in touch by phone or email, sharing praise reports and prayer requests. Small group gatherings are encouraged. Contact Doc or Letha Sellars with any comments or questions at (951) 797-3302 or docletha72@gmail. com. ~ Doc Sellars It's been so amazing to meet together again! We started meeting in the Ballroom on Friday, April 2. The chairs were placed six feet apart, all the ladies wore masks, and even though there was elbow- bumping, we're not at the hugging level yet. I used my cell phone to dial in on the conference call for the ladies who preferred not to attend in person. It was so appropriate that we convened on April 2, as that date we began the in-depth study of the Book of Hebrews. We anticipate concluding this study at the end of July. It's exciting to be studying this amazing, beautiful book, since it is Christ-centered in its theme and content. We also have a tentative summer party scheduled on June 11 in the RCN building. Hopefully we will be able to meet together for a lesson, followed by a lovely luncheon and lots of hugs and laughter. If any of you Four Seasons ladies are interested in attending this Bible study, please contact me for updated attendance details. We hope to see you soon! ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine, (951) 922-6829 or egcellent@msn.com "Believe…" Women's Bible Study Intercessory Prayer group Greeting intercessors, friends, and neighbors! I pray all is well. I am happy to inform you that we will be moving back to The Lodge. We meet every first Monday at 9 am (except holidays) in the Game Room. I am looking forward to meeting face to face with the intercessors. Please contact me at eaglewatchwb@aol.com. I will not turn down any prayer request so please send them to me via email and the group will come in agreement for you, your spouse, and your children. It has been hard for all of us ever since the COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in 2020; separation from our children family, and friends, was a burden but, if we will continue to follow the guidelines that have been put in place for us, we will slowly return to enjoying life as we knew it. So, please be safe and be careful; we are praying for you. ~ Cookie Bonner Bereavement Group Over the past year I have received many phone calls inquiring about this group. When I have said that we are meeting on Zoom, only one person was willing to try to join us. Briefly. And that is completely understandable. Trying to join a group like this using only a computer screen is daunting. I said "join us" because there is an ongoing group that has been meeting on Zoom before and during this time of restriction. But the Bereavement Group group is opening up, just like so many other entities at Four Seasons are. There are changes, starting with our meeting time and place. The Bereavement Group now meets at 3:30 pm on Monday, not at 1 pm. As of this writing, we will be in the first section of the Ballroom, not in the Conference Room. And after eight years of facilitating this group by myself, I am delighted to introduce a co-chair. Her name is Becky KG, and like me she is a retired mental health care professional. Both of us have experience facilitating groups, and both of us agree that the Bereavement Group is not a therapy group or a social group. It is to help people walk the path that both of us have walked, learning how to cope with the pain of loss and learning how to structure a new life. This past year has been exceptionally difficult. Experiencing loss is always extremely painful, and having to do it when your family and social contacts are greatly limited is even more distressing. But the good news is that social interaction is becoming safer and we can reach out to our fellows and enjoy the warmth and comfort from them and our family. But often that is not enough. If you are struggling with loss and would like to be with others who will welcome you and share with you and light the path ahead of you, please come join us. You can call me at (951) 922-0934 or email me at lauriemlarson425@gmail.com; or you can call Becky at (951) 524-0215 or email her at beckykg_1@ yahoo.com. All contact is confidential. We look forward to having you join us. ~ Laurie Larson Zeldin
