Parental Alienation is gender-neutral and effects both Mothers and Fathers, as well as Step-Parents, Siblings, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and anyone who loves a child who is being turned against them.  Sadly, the consequences of Parental Alienation are undeniably the most detrimental to the Child/ren who are the pawns of the Alienator.

We are not professionals, but rather ordinary individuals who have experienced, and still are experiencing, the effects of divorce and Parental Alienation.  The purpose of this group is to provide a haven for discussion and to offer each other solace and encouragement, recommendations from our own own experiences, and resources.  Despite where we are on our journey through life, and however we are experiencing Parental Alienation let us gather together in order grow and heal and come to a deeper understanding of our situation in a positive manner.

This month's topic: Discussion of Dr. Amy Baker's e-book Beyond the High Road: Responding to 17 Parental Alienation Strategies without Compromising Your Morals or Harming Your Child by Amy J.L. Baker, Ph.D. And Paul R. Fine, LCSW

Time: 10:30 am–11:30 am

The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Essex County, located at 35 Cleveland St. in Orange, NJ, will present its annual Jazz Worship service Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 10:30 AM. The public is invited.

 

Performing will be pianist Dave Braham, drummer Diego Lopez, bassist Bob Funesti and multi-woodwind specialist Ray Johnston. Braham and Johnston are members of the congregation and frequently provide music for worship.

 

Dave Braham has performed and recorded with many well-known jazz artists. His most recent recording as a leader is “To Be Free” on Random Act Records. Diego Lopez has accompanied many blues greats, including KoKo Taylor. He has toured for many years with saxophonist Gato Barbieri. Bob Funesti studied bass with Mike Richmond and performs with the Silver Starlight Orchestra. Ray Johnston also performs with Silver Starlight, at Harlem’s Cotton Cub and with the 63^rd Army National Guard Band.

 

The congregation has been located at the same address just off Main Street in Orange since it opened its doors in 1893. Jazz Worship Sunday has become a popular annual event. The church believes that music, and especially jazz, holds a special place in the American spiritual experience, and is a key component to Black History and racial and economic justice. The Rev. Darrell Berger will preach on “How Doo Wop brought Harmony to the Street.”
