This Sunday, May 18, 2025, we will celebrate our WISE ministry. This ministry has become a vital source of support and engagement within our church and in the wider community.

A resource from the UCC Mental Health Network says it best: “The sacred stories of our faith traditions offer us hope and encouragement for everyday life. When it comes to mental health and wellbeing, we celebrate the power of faith to positively influence the mental health of our communities. New brain science confirms what our ancestors knew: God’s love has healing power. For emotional, social, and mental wellbeing, faith assures of two protective factors: (1) you are not alone and (2) you are loved.”

This Sunday, we join as part of a global movement of God’s healing Spirit and for sharing hope with people living with mental health challenges, often invisible, yet very real and painful. Coming together to break the silence in worship services, we help end the stigma and shame of mental health challenges.
