Dear Guest of Mary's Place by the Sea,

The month of July is here and we are excited to offer another month of virtual services for your mind, body and soul. We hope that you will take a moment to pause and enjoy some of these services from the safety of your own home. All sessions will be held via the Zoom App, and as always, there will be no cost to you. Please review the schedule for the month of July; if you are interested in being placed on the distribution list for one of these sessions, please email Program Manager Malin Mumford at  and let her know which class/classes you are interested in.

 

Thank you and take good care,
The Team at Mary's Place by the Sea
