Let’s have dinner and talk about death. Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 5 pm at Brecksville United Methodist Church
Let’s face it. There’s no cure for being human, and we are all going to die. But how we want to die represents the most important and costly conversation America isn’t having. Can we do better at talking about death? We’re bringing together resources to share an uplifting interactive adventure – over a simple meal – that transforms this seemingly difficult conversation into one of deep engagement, insight and empowerment. Come gather around the table for an evening of conversation that can be life – and death – changing.
This is a first time event at our church, so we need your help.
If you are interested in attending, please complete the interest form below as soon as possible. Your feedback will help determine the menu and other plans. Space will be limited! Let us hear from you so we can save you a seat!
