Sacred Mental Health : May 19–21
The mental health crisis in our nation is breaking in like a flood, but our diocese has a response: Sacred Mental Health. This ministry is being developed as a way to bring the unique gift of God’s transforming grace through Jesus Christ into the dark places of mental and emotional suffering.
The next Sacred Mental Health Level One Retreat is May 19-21 at Christchurch in Montgomery, AL. This retreat is an opportunity for you and members of your congregation to: Learn how God works within our brains, minds, and spirits; to learn practices that can turn darkness and suffering into sacred places where we meet God; do personal “soul work” to grow in relationship with God; and enjoy a time of rest, refreshment, and contemplation.

It’s a week-long overnight summer camp where rising 7th – 12th grade students physically and relationally invest in the local community with their time and talents by being the hands and feet of Jesus. During this action-packed week, students live on the Grace Anglican Church campus in a mission-styled setting. Students serve during the day at various mission sites, have fun with friends, and gather at the Barn in the evening for worship, teaching, and small group discussion.
