St. Paul's Lutheran Church

Our country and our community have seen a dramatic rise in mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, suicide, relationship issues, and addiction. Numerous professions are working to help the healing in our community including governments, schools, social services, and mental health professionals. And the faith community has something to offer as well. Many of the foundations of faith like grace, community, hope, forgiveness, prayer, and joy are documented to be helpful. Faith can't fix mental health challenges, but it can be extremely helpful, in the same way that first aid treatments can assist the body in healing. We very much hope you can attend this series and be blessed by these "Faith Aid" topics!
