In a conversational interview, Witherspoon Deacon Cam Stout, and Karen Yvette Jones, will share their hope-filled stories of recovery from depression and bipolar disorder. Why tell such private stories? Because when we share our mental health challenges, we build an empathetic community, nurture faith, give courage to folks who need help, and shine the bright light of hope into the shadows of stigma and loneliness. Find the Zoom link below.

Join us Tuesdays, November 1 – December 6, in-person, 7:00-8:30 p.m., in the Conference Room of Nassau Church. This 6-week support group is open to adult members, family, and friends of Nassau and Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church who are moving through the challenging journey of grief, whether from a recent or not-so-recent loss of a family member. Strength and support are offered at every meeting through guided scripture, prayer, and shared experiences.
