Safe Sanctuaries Training
THIS
Sunday June 1st at 11:00 am
Safe Sanctuaries is an overt expression in making
congregations safe places where children, youth, and elders
may experience the abiding love of God and fellowship within
the community of faith. It is very important that any
church employee or volunteer who will be supervising
children, youth, or vulnerable adults during church related
ministries complete this training, and it affects our
insurance coverage if persons do not go through the training.
The United Methodist Church requires this training be
completed every three years. We will be having onsite
training THIS Sunday, June 1st
after worship service. Other members of
the congregation are also welcome to become certified.
Soup
"Train"
Mike Marvel had another dental procedure and will be on a
soup diet for the next three months. We are looking for
people to make soup, freeze some in a quart container(s) and
bring it to church. Please label the container with the
type of soup. Pastor Dave will deliver the soup to Mike.

Looking for an opportunity to help out at church? Sign up to

June Outreach Offering - Reconcilling
Ministries
Since 1949, Mental
Health Awareness Month has played a
vital role in spotlighting the challenges faced by millions
of Americans living with mental health conditions. Each May,
this nationwide movement serves as a powerful reminder of the
importance of mental wellness and community support.
NAMI
DuPage proudly joins the national effort
to break
the stigma, amplify voices,
and foster
understanding around mental health. NAMI
DuPage was founded in 1985 as an affiliate of the National
Alliance on Mental Illness, a nationwide mental health
advocacy organization who were dedicated to improving the
quality of lives of people affected by mental illnesses. NAMI
DuPage has grown to an organization of over 1,000 members,
and has become one of the largest and most innovative
of over 600 affiliates nationwide. They
envision a community that eliminates the stigma of mental
illness, creates awareness to identify illness earlier, and
supports and empowers all people impacted by mental health
conditions to live life with purpose and meaning. They
provide individual services, support groups, workforce
development programs and recreational activities.
