Join Rev. Claire Harris Kramer, LMSW for a lunch on Thursday, May 30 at 12:30 p.m. We'll explore scripture and poetry as we discuss how our faith is a resource for coping with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. We'll draw on our own experiences and think about how spiritual practices can be beneficial for our mental health. This will be a discussion based luncheon with plenty of space for questions.
