Friday at First with Rev. Dr. Richard Gibbons returns with a timely and tender conversation amid Winter Storm II. This week’s episode weaves together weather updates, congregational life, and a deeply moving interview on suicide and complicated grief. Rev. Gibbons speaks with church staff member Barbara Siebel, who shares her personal story of loss with remarkable courage and honesty. Along the way, hear reflections on community care, upcoming Sunday celebrations, and how faith anchors us in uncertain times. This is a heartfelt episode—one that invites listening with both mind and heart (and maybe a tissue nearby).
