Be the Healing
This two day virtual workshop has objectives that include: understanding how the structural inequalities beginning with the period of enslavement continue to impact African Americans and their communities today; analyze relevant concepts of the Relationship Approach and the Philosophical Aspect of cultural difference as a basis for understanding the behaviors of African American individuals and families within their social/cultural environments; and understand the role that social learning theory and learned helplessness has played in America.
Dr. DeGruy’s research focuses on the intersection of racism, trauma, violence and American chattel slavery. She has over thirty years of practical experience as a professional in the field of social work. She conducts workshops/trainings in the areas of intergenerational/historical trauma, mental health and social justice.
There is a fee associated with this Conference. PUCC would like to help pay for this – just ask.
Saturday, October 9 - any time that works well for you

Worship with us this Sunday! |
|
Worship In-Person in the Sanctuary or on Facebook Live… or later on YouTube
Our scriptures are Psalm 31:1-5, 9-17a (how God and others treat us) and Mark 10:17-31 where the man with many possessions went away grieving when Jesus told him that it wasn’t enough to just follow the ten commandments, but he also needed to share his money and possessions with those in need. What have you done lately and what are you planning to do next to serve those in need?
This is also a New Member Sunday.

Tuesday Evening Dialogue October 12
2nd & 4th Tuesdays | 6:45pm social time | 7:00pm Book discussion | via Zoom
Jesus and John Wayne has been reviewed as a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism. A reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, this author discusses how far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

Loving our Neighbors at Thanksgiving
We look forward to sharing Thanksgiving with loved ones near and far.
We will provide 200 1-pound bags/boxes of sugar for Isaiah 58 families. Please consider donating one or two or more bags/boxes through 7 November. Place your sugar in the marked box in the church entryway.
Circle of Concern is also gearing up for their big Thanksgiving Basket Program for 700 families. Just like last year, we are committing to supplying 150 boxes of food items that will go alongside a turkey, frozen pie, fresh fruit, vegetables and a gift card from Aldi's. It would be helpful if your donation contained all eight items for the box, but all donations are appreciated.
Items in each box: canned pumpkin, cranberry sauce, canned fruit, chicken broth, boxed stuffing mix, jar of turkey or chicken gravy, cornbread muffin mix, boxed mashed potatoes.
Many thanks for your kindness and generosity!

To show compassion for an individual without showing concern for the structures of society that make him an object of compassion is to be sentimental rather than loving. ~William Sloane Coffin, Jr. |

PUCC Mental Health Training - Bridges to Care
In honor and memory of Tyler Wessel and Gloria Wandless, we have applied to participate in some mental health training with other churches in St Louis. The program is called Bridges to Care and Recovery hosted by The Behavioral Health Network of Greater St. Louis. The goals of the training are to reduce the stigma of mental illness in faith-based communities by equipping congregations to talk about behavioral healthy issues and increasing congregation participants' understanding and acceptance of behavioral health through training and education; establish partnerships between area mental health professionals that enable congregations to better access care and treatment; and equip congregations with tools needed to develop wellness ministries and volunteer companions for long-term sustainability.
We are looking for 5-7 PUCCers who would commit to this free training.
This training is all virtual and runs from October - May... most months it is from 6-8pm on the third Thursday of the month beginning on October 21.
If you would like to know more about this important opportunity/responsibility, please reach out to [email protected]
The Behavioral Health Network of Greater St. Louis is a collaborative effort of providers, advocacy organizations, government leaders and community members dedicated to developing an accessible and coordinated system of behavioral healthcare throughout the eastern region of Missouri.
