Congregational Meeting Sunday, May 14, 10AM, Sanctuary
From NAMI Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition; 1 in 5 U.S. adults will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. However, everyone is affected or impacted by mental illness through friends and family. Throughout May, NAMI and participants across the country are raising awareness for mental health. Each year, we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care. -See more at: nami.org/mentalhealthmonth
Care & Support
The Session has called a Congregational Meeting to approve revised terms of call for Pastors Kelly and Mike Nieto, as well as approving additional members to the All-Church Nominating Committee to fill vacant spots.
