HEALTH
Free Health Resources Every Member of Our Community Should Know About

As people of faith, we are called to love our neighbors — and that includes caring for their health and well-being. The Tennessee Department of Health's Office of Minority Health publishes a free quarterly newsletter packed with vital information our community needs to thrive. The latest issue covers Black Maternal Health Week, Mental Health First Aid training, resources for those living with Sickle Cell Disease, and upcoming health observances through the summer. This is exactly the kind of practical, life-giving information our congregation can use and share with family and friends — especially those in underserved communities who may not have easy access to these resources. We encourage every member to subscribe today so you never miss an issue. It's free, it's informative, and it could make a real difference in someone's life.

EVENT
Jesus Was a Migrant: From Jemar Tisby

This powerful new documentary — executive produced by New York Times bestselling author and historian Dr. Jemar Tisby and co-executive produced and directed by Lauren Vernea — follows Tisby to the U.S.-Mexico border to examine what American Christianity has done with the migrant. The film asks the question many of us have been avoiding: What does our faith actually require?

Community screenings are available nationwide beginning April 10. Whether you’re hosting a Sunday evening event, a small group series, or a denominational gathering, the film is designed to spark the conversations your community needs to have.
