THE CHURCH & MENTAL HEALTH: BUILDING RESILIENCE

DURING COVID-19 WORKSHOP, JULY 22 & 23

These times are strange. COVID-19 has disrupted nearly every facet

of our daily lives. It has threatened jobs, homes, and families in ways

that we are only beginning to comprehend. Stressors such as social

isolation, uncertainty about the future, and the threat of becoming

ill contribute to loneliness, depression, anxiety, and despair. Join us

to hear how our communities of faith are uniquely positioned to be

beacons of hope and resilience in these turbulent times.

We have an In-Person Meeting on Wednesday, July 22, hosted by

Chris Pulliam; and a Zoom Meeting Thursday, July 23, hosted by

Mike Hazeltine. Each event will be from 6:30-8pm. Please RSVP with

the church office, 903-561-8138, for the meeting of your choice.

GENERATION GREAT LUNCHEON, JULY 23

Ages 55+, join us in Disciples Hall at 11:45am. Dr. Ron Beals, an ar-

chaeologist with several Israel expeditions on his belt, will share his

experiences as we dine. Due to COVID restrictions, we are only able

to accommodate up to 60 people, so please RSVP with the church

office by July 20. Lunch will be $5. We ask that you wear a mask

and stick to "air" hugs and handshakes until restrictions are lifted.

The flowers in the Sanctuary this

week are given by Faye

Crawford, in memory of

Jim Crawford.
