Spiritual First Aid
Dear St. James Lutheran Family,
Our world is stressed out and hurting — even in our own backyard. You knew that without me telling you. People around us are going through stuff, and if they're not, it won't be too long before they are. They desperately need support. Something we at church understand is that spiritual support and emotional care make a huge difference.

Something we at church understand is that spiritual support and emotional care make a huge difference.
Our friends at Lutheran Church Charities are offering to equip us to become `spiritual first responders' by learning something called Spiritual First Aid, a simple, biblically based framework for crisis care.
This extremely effective material will help each of us:
• Understand better what to say and how to help hurting people in our community
• Learn research-backed skills and field-tested tools for practical support
• Feel more confident in the care each of us gives our neighbors
Jesus told us to love our neighbors, and so I'm inviting everyone at St. James to prepare to do that well by coming to these classes.
The LCC teacher/trainers will be right here in our own Parish Hall for a 2-day training event on Friday, June 6 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. and then continuing Saturday, June 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with lunch provided. Be sure to register via the link in this email.
I would love for you to discover personally how you can be the empathetic, helping presence Jesus has called you to be. -Pr. Neil
