Adult Faith Formation
The Intersection of Faith and Mental Health
May 14 - June 4 at 9 a.m. in the Trinity Room
Faith and mental health are not mutually exclusive, in fact, they are complementary. Health and wholeness include all parts of a human being -- mental, physical and spiritual. Come be with us as we discuss how faith and mental health intersect each other and how all age groups are affected by disease and trauma.

May 28: Faith and the Aging Brain with Tom Vallie
