Suicide is a major public health concern. Suicide is among the leading causes of death in the United States and based on recent nationwide surveys, suicide in some populations is on the rise. Suicide affects many families in our nation today. Join us this week as we look at a Spiritual Perspective on suicide and how to minister to families affected by this tragedy.
Parents: The topic of this week's message is a painfully real part of our world; and one that may be especially sensitive for children and teenagers. We encourage you to use your discretion regarding your family and the appropriateness of this subject when viewing this message. As always, the worship service will be made available for replay should you wish to view the message on your own to determine whether or not it may be appropriate to also view with your child or teenager at a later time.
