Information Evening – Mental health and trauma-informed pastoral care

Renew Ripon is 2 years old, and we are looking for more people to help with this vital and growing ministry area. Michelle will be holding an information evening on Thursday 11^th April 7-8.30pm in Rooms 1 & 2 for anyone interested in finding out more about Renew Ripon or more generally about how mental health and trauma affect us and how we can best care and support people who are struggling in this way. You don’t need to commit to anything at this stage as this is an opportunity to simply find out more. We will be looking at research and recent findings, best practice pastoral care models, including those we use at Renew Ripon, and the example of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke in caring for people with mental ill health and trauma. There will be an opportunity for refreshments, discussion and questions.

There is no sign-up, but it would help to know numbers for planning so if you are able to please let Michelle Lepine, Julie Bates or the office know. Everyone welcome.
