A Hospice Chaplain’s View of Life and Death

What might those nearing death teach us about how to live?

In this special service, we welcome Sr. Chaplain Chris Breedlove of Hospice of Humboldt, who has spent many years accompanying people and families at the threshold between life and death. From the quiet space of hospital rooms and hospice bedsides, he has witnessed moments of grief, tenderness, courage, reconciliation, and unexpected beauty.

Through stories and reflections from his work, Chris will invite us to consider the sacredness of life’s final chapter—and the wisdom that often emerges there. Together, we will explore how presence, compassion, and community can transform the way we face mortality, reminding us that the way we live and the way we care for one another matter deeply, all the way to the end.

Join us for a thoughtful and heartfelt service reflecting on life, death, and the love that holds us through both.
