“Mental Health Awareness Sunday”
On May 31st as Mental Health Awareness Month came to a close, Long Cane A.M.E. Church wanted to remind everyone that caring for our mental and emotional well-being matters to God.
Mental health is part of our overall health. Many people quietly carry burdens like anxiety, grief, loneliness, stress, or depression or emotional exhaustion. Seeking support is a sign of strength and wisdom and no one should feel alone in those struggles.
The congregation was encouraged to take a moment to visit the Mental Health Awareness table in the Narthex following service to pick up encouragement resources and reminders that they are loved, supported, and prayed for.
We lit a memorial candle to extend compassion, understanding, and hope to those who are struggling and to the families and friends who carry the loss of loved ones who lost their battle with mental health challenges.
Long Cane A.M.E Church desires to be a place of compassion, listening, hope, healing and care for all.
-Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
