Rev. Dr. Michelle Morris
Rich Man, Poor Widow
Where is our security? For the rich man, it seems like it was in his assurance in how the world was supposed to work, and in his belief that his stuff would keep him safe. The poor widow will come along and flip all of that on its head. How is Jesus inviting us into the freedom of letting go?

Mental Health First Aid Training
Saturday, February 17th, 8am-5pm
Sign up to attend this 8 hour training on how to respond to someone who is in a mental health crisis. You will learn useful skills and information that take some of the fear and anxiety out of responding. You may also aid in keeping a situation from escalating. Lunch will be provided. Registration deadline is Sunday, February 4. There is no charge for this training, as it is being sponsored by The Mixers Sunday school class, but the number of people allowed is limited, so please sign up here to hold your space.
