52 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2022 The Gospel of John has been a delightful and insightful study. Beginning on May 6 we will commence our study of John, Chapter 12. We have been studying a chapter a week, reading each verse out loud in class, and then discussing the messages. Chapter 12 talks about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem for Passover and the week He spent there in preparation for his death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus and His disciples shared the Last Supper in the middle of that week. Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified, is called "good" because is led to Jesus' resurrection and His victory over death. On Good Friday in April 2022 we took a break from our study and eight of the ladies shared how and when they came to Christ. It was an amazing and beautiful experience which each of us cherished. If any of your Four Seasons women out there are interested in joining this amazing group of Godly women to study the Word of God, we meet every Friday from 10:30 to 11:45 am in The Lodge Game Room. You are most welcome to bring any version of the Bible with you, and come in fellowship with us. ~ Eileen Gilbert-Antoine, (951) 922-6829 or egcellent@msn.com "Believe…" Women's Bible Study Bereavement Group The month of May has many unusual or special dates. Some of these are: May 1 - World Laughter Day and of course May Day, May 4 - Star Wars Day and World Give Day, May 5 - Cinco de Mayo, May 6 - No Diet Day, May 10 - Mother's Day, May 21 - Armed Forces Day, May 26 - National Paper Airplane Day, and May 31 - Memorial Day along with many others. Before we experienced the death of a loved one we might have been amused by some of these and even participated in some way to celebrate them. However, after the loss of a loved one, your mood may change. You may not pay attention to these or any holidays and not find them funny. This is normal. In fact, unless you have become clinically depressed or are experiencing complicated grief, (both of which you should seek professional help with), the majority of what you do and how you feel during bereavement is completely normal. There are times you will cry, be angry, maybe even scream at the person who died. It is normal. The grief comes in like waves. Some are small and you can deal with fairly well and some are like giant swells that knock you over when they surprise you. This is all part of the process of grieving. The Bereavement Group helps you understand that no matter what you are going through it is similar to what others have felt. There is comfort in knowing you are not the only one feeling a certain way. If you think it might be a little uncomfortable for you to talk, please know that no one is forced to speak. You talk when you want and share what you want. The group is yours to get out of it what you need. The group is here to talk about some of these issues and to share what others have tried or thought about. You are always welcome. We meet on Mondays from 1 to 3 pm in Room 3 of the RCN. For more information please contact Becky KG at (951) 524-0215 or email her at beckykg_1@yahoo.com (please note the underscore in the email). All contact is confidential and we look forward to seeing you. ~ Becky Kotzin-Gustafson Intercessory Prayer group Greeting friends and neighbors. Come and join us for prayer the first Monday of each month in The Lodge Game Room at 9 am. Mother Teresa said, "Prayer in action is love; love in action is service. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things." What a profound statement. You can reach me at eaglewatchwb@aol.com. ~ Cookie Bonner
