Mental health is not only a component of Health Ministries, but the life of the church. Mental health is health. With the onset of the pandemic, there has been an increase in depression and anxiety. People are stressed, languishing and dealing with overwhelming grief. Mental health is a crisis globally. Statistics show that people will go to clergy and the church first before a clinical practitioner.
This webinar will provide training for members who are interested to walk alongside people with mental illness to provide support, love and hope. They will learn to dispel the myths of mental illness, get a team to help plan support services, train volunteers, conduct small groups, schedule events for the community (mental health fair), and use book club and studies as a format for evangelism.
This webinar is presented by Dr. Cheryl Simmons, Chaplain and Author, and Rosemary Graham, South Atlantic Conference Disabilities Ministries Director and Certified Mental Health Coach.
Saturday, July 9th at 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. This event is virtual.

Joy of Eating Club: Plant-full Holiday Season
Time: 4:00 – 5:30 pm, ET
Topic: Celebrating a Plant-full Holiday Season
The holiday season is upon us and with that comes all the special dishes we reserve (or try to) for this time of the year. But how does our body respond to these occasional splurges? Are there plant-based solutions to minimize the extra calories, sugar, fat, and sodium that so easily pile up during the holidays? Does the Bible have anything to say about foods for special occasions? You don’t want to miss our upcoming article discussing these interesting questions and our special JOE program which will be entirely dedicated to a full holiday meal cooking demo, with Maggie Collins & Lucia Tiffany.
And as holidays also reminds us of gifts we will be giving away an Instant Pot during our live Zoom program based on the following rules:
- The participant needs to be present during the live Zoom meeting
- The participant will cook a 100% plant-based holiday dish in advance and will show the finalized dish to us during the Zoom meeting
- The participant will have 1 minute to tell us why they should win the prize
- The participant will have a recipe of the dish available for sharing via email in case he or she wins the prize
- The participant needs to reside in the US or Canada
- Everyone present at the live Zoom meeting will have the ability to vote on the dishes presented and the winner will be based on the votes.
