Lennoxville United Church will be holding a special service this coming Sunday, Oct. 30, at 10 a.m. to help raise awareness and build conversation around issues of mental health and wellbeing. This will be the third service of this kind held by the church since 2019.
“We’re trying to make it an annual thing,” said Pam Wilson, who has been helping to coordinate the planning of the event, explaining that the service was first held in 2019, then again last year after having not taken place during 2020 out of respect for COVID-19 restrictions.
“We don’t want people to feel alone,” Wilson said, describing the church service as being an opportunity to have a public conversation about the struggles and stigmas that come with mental health challenges and illnesses. “We want to let people know that there is help out there for them.”
