Mental health vs spiritual health
Sunday Service: Panel Discussion
May 3, 9am and 10:30am (Kemptville Campus)
Loaded Conversations
May 4, 7pm (Winchester Campus)
Men are often told to "just keep going," but sometimes it's important to pause and check in on how we're really doing. Come join us at the Winchester Campus for Loaded Conversations.
This event is mainly for men, but everyone is welcome. Feel free to bring your wife, girlfriend, or mom. We'll have a place to connect, enjoy a free Baked Potato Bar, and hear guest speaker Kwaku Boafo share an important message about men's mental health.
There’s no pressure and no small talk, just honest conversation and a strong sense of community. To make it easier for families to join, we’re also offering free childcare on site.
