Every day, our lives are caught in the mire of human frailty: illness, death, loss, change, sudden tragedy, prolonged issues and more. Our church family offers prayer, care, comfort, counseling and spiritual support through our Care Ministry. If you or someone you know is in need, contact us.
This month, we stand with individuals and communities across the nation, working to break the stigma surrounding mental health challenges. There is no shame in seeking help—mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. At Christ Church, we believe in caring for the whole person, and we are grateful to offer support through our Pastoral Counselor, Jane Myers. Jane has faithfully served our church for over 11 years, providing compassionate, confidential care to those in need. If you would like to schedule a time to meet with Jane, please call 502-882-9966.
You can also support this vital ministry by contributing to the Pastoral Counseling Fund, which helps offset the church’s payroll expenses for this position. To donate, please visit ccum.net/give.
Join us Friday, May 16 at 11 am in Room 156 for a discussion of Sarah Griffith Lund's book, Blessed Are the Crazy: Breaking the Silence About Mental Illness, Family, and Church. As both a pastor and an author, Sarah offers deep insight into the intersection of faith and mental health. She writes:
The purpose of Christian mindfulness is to open our hearts and minds to the still-speaking God, to create time and space for the indwelling of Christ’s Spirit among us. When we are living with mental illness, it is important to embrace our identity as children of God and receive into our weary spirits God’s abundant blessings.
