Hello,
Everybody has mental health. It is part of who we are. Twenty-three percent of American struggle with their mental health. Maybe that’s you! If not, wonderful, but whether you know it or not, somebody you love is struggling with mental health right now.
Our theme for Lent in 2026 is mental health. The goal is to give you a deeper understanding of basic mental health, su***de prevention, addiction, youth and family mental health, grief and loss, and some basic mental health resources.
Over the next five Wednesday evenings, we will meet at Ostmark at 5:30pm with a meal and then worship and learning at 6:00pm.
The only thing you need to bring is yourself and any questions you might have about mental health and the themes we’re discussing. We will do our best to livestream the events but cannot guarantee that. Please join us and invite a friend!
Here is the schedule:
February 25, 2026: “We All Have Mental Health” for youth and SAVE Su***de Prevention for adults (16 years and up). Lisa Bershok, MSW, LICSW and team.
March 4, 2026: Addiction: Travis Harris LICSW.
March 11, 2026: Pastor Joe on mental health resources.
March 18, 2026: Laura Nelson on youth and mental health.
March 25, 2026: Kate Ritger on grief and loss.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know, and I hope to see many of you there!
Pastor Joe
