Hello families!

Hope you are enjoying some rest and relaxation and restoration. Just a quick hello to invite you to church this Sunday and then to the playground for popsicles. I've missed you all! Before you know it, we will be blessing backpacks and sliding down the waterslide at our Back to the Block party.

If you get a second, have your kid(s) pick a picture from their summer adventures and have them email it to me with a little explanation. We'll see where in the world we all have been.

Peace,

Kathy

Keep/Watch: Suicide Prevention Training

Sunday, August 6, 2023 11:15 am - 1:30 pm

Join us on August 6th as we are joined by Holle Tubbs, Youth Missioner for The Diocese of Atlanta and co-author of "Keep/Watch: Suicide, Christ, and Community"

Keep/Watch is a learning tool for people of faith around suicide causes and prevention. This approach to suicide prevention is informed by Scripture, the Book of Common Prayer, statistical data, and evidence-based resources. The goal is to see all churches become “Keep/Watch congregations”: faith communities that are rooted in worship and welcoming to those who need a place to belong.

Please join us for this free training, with lunch provided, after the 10am service in Ellis Hall. Registration can be found below.

Keep/Watch is open to all ages who wish to participate and we welcome and encourage youth and their parents to attend.
