"A Faith-filled Response to Suicide"
This week I am preaching on suicide and our faith. It is important that we talk about suicide. It is a leading cause of death for young people, as well as men over 65. I believe that God loves us unconditionally and that suicide does not send us to hell or remove God's love for us. Perhaps you learned differently in a previous faith tradition. Perhaps you worry about this.
Responding to suicide as Christ's servants means thinking theologically about suicide and gaining the tools to help those in crisis. We are part of the solution.
We are also having a training after church this Sunday at 11:00am called QPR: Question, Persuade, Refer. It will teach us how to recognize when someone is in crisis and what to do.
(If you’re thinking about suicide or are worried about a friend or loved one, call or text 988 at any time.)
