• Mental Health Advocates

         Our pastorate has developed a team of Mental Health Advocates, consisting of Kathy Bartels, Ann Boyle, Denise Dixon and Bill Manthe. Be sure to communicate to one of us your thoughts on a topic for a workshop at our pastorate. Look forward to a mental health and faith support group beginning in the coming months. 

           We’d also like to make you aware of the great work that Patti & Terry Cullen are doing with their organization, Ben’s Hope. It’s named after their son Ben who died by suicide. They host a survivor’s of suicide support group, a fundraiser coming up soon, and a retreat in the fall. Get more info at: www.bens-hope.org.

  
  Bill Manthe is the Mental Health Advocate contact for our pastorate. He can be reached at St. Clement Church, 723-4990.
