Mental wellness is essential to our emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. The CPC Mental Health Ministries team encourages our church community to prioritize mental health as part of our faith journey. This is a time to reflect, seek support, and build habits that promote a balanced and fulfilling life. Scripture reminds us in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” God desires holistic wellness - body, mind, and spirit. If you need resources, please visit our page here.

NEXT WEEK’S TOPIC: God is Passionate and Compassionate. This week’s lesson highlights that while emotions can be misused, they are a God-given capacity reflecting His perfect, deeply emotional love, which differs from human emotions in its perfection and wisdom.
