This Sunday is the week we choose to honor Mental Health Awareness Month in our congregation. Addressing mental health and addiction issues in the community has been a part of our church’s mission for several years now as a way to love our neighbors and meet them where they really are. In that spirit, today’s sermon addresses a topic that is among the toughest: suicide. Using a story from the book of Acts, we will explore the many ways that this tough topic actually affects all of us and people that the church cares about most. We also take cues from the story about ways that we can show up authentically and lovingly for people who are most affected .
