SERMON SERIES:
"DOES THIS MAKE ME CRAZY?
This weekend, Pastors Trufant & Newton will continue to
unearth and explore a taboo topic:
Mental Health
No one talks about it openly, however, many people silently suffer with varying
forms and severity of mental illness, with little hope and help offered by the
church. Through this series, we will look at the issue of mental health in light of
the gospel.
