Welcome New Member, Mental Health Resources, Church-Wide Prayer Rally (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/18)

 

Welcome to Our New Members!

We welcome Victor Lindsey into our church family! Victor has completed both the New Members Orientation (NMO) and his membership interview, and we look forward to seeing how God will continue to use and bless him in our congregation. Let’s continue to surround him with love, support, and encouragement as he takes this next step in his faith journey.


Mental Health Awareness: Breaking the Stigma in the Church

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we want to take this opportunity to highlight an important truth: it’s okay to not be okay.

Too often, mental health struggles go unspoken in the church, but we believe it’s time to break the stigma. God, in His common grace, has provided us with incredible resources—both spiritual and practical—to help us walk through mental health challenges with hope and healing.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Here at our church, we are blessed to have individuals who are ready and willing to help. Deaconess Tasha Smith and Minister Rasheeda Oliver are available to support, encourage, and connect you with resources to guide you on the path to wellness. Whether it's listening, praying, sharing resources, or helping someone find professional support, we can all play a role in bringing light into dark places.

Let’s be a church that doesn’t shy away from these conversations, but instead becomes a place of healing, understanding, and hope.


Church-Wide Prayer Rally

Mark your calendars! Our next Church-Wide Prayer Rally is coming up on Tuesday, May 20, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, hosted by the Titus 2 Women’s Ministry.

This is a powerful time for us to come together as a unified body, lifting our voices in prayer and seeking God’s direction and presence in every area of our lives. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

If you have specific prayer requests, you can submit them online or place them in the prayer request box located at the back of the sanctuary.
