August 18 @ St. Paul's UMC: Announcements

+In response to popular demand, Jovanka Jones is offering chair yoga classes on Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. 

+The Mountain Sky Conference welcomes the Rev. Dr. Joey Shelton as he presents   "Understanding Christian Nationalism." His presentation will explore questions such as: Why does it matter? What's the goal? Says who? As people of faith, we have responsibilities within our faith community AND the public square. Please join this virtual presentation on Sunday, August 25th at 4:30 pm. Register to receive the Zoom link here. 

+A food drive for EFAA will be held in September. Meanwhile, any donation made to EFAA before August 31 will be matched—for example, $100 becomes $200. See Judy Waller for more information.

+Traditional mental health first aid tools can be helpful to some, but for those with historically marginalized identities, the same tools– such as calling 911 during a mental health crisis– can have a harmful result. Radical Mental Health First Aid helps us reduce the risk of harm caused to our neighbors by ourselves, our neighbors, by police, and even by well-meaning health care workers and professionals working in psychiatric fields and facilities. Facilitated by Oumou Sylla, Radical mental health invites you to join a movement that is radically reimagining how care is accessed and co-created. Join us for Radical Mental Health First Aid on Thursday, September 19th @ 6:00 pm-8:30 pm via Zoom. Click here to register.
