Our program covered the prevalence of suicide, the risks associated with higher rates of suicides and the warning signs of someone who might be suicidal. The talk ended with some local information on the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT) which provides emergency intervention in any suicidal situation in the 6 counties served by the Pecan Valley Centers. The Crisis Services are available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year by calling 1-800-772-5987 and referrals can be made by the person himself, families, schools, businesses or law enforcement.
Please be in prayer for the town of Wetumpka, Alabama which was struck by a tornado on Saturday, January 19. The First Presbyterian Church was one of the buildings that sustained major damage. We will have more information soon on ways that we can help.
Their pastor was quoted as saying: “Everybody wanted to know where we were going to have church tomorrow,” he said. “I told them ‘What the hell is wrong with you?’ We’re not going to have church tomorrow. We’re going to be church tomorrow.”
A powerful idea, especially in the midst of their loss.
Please join us to shower Emily and Tony Graham with blessings, love and gifts for their little boy expected in March. They are registered at Walmart and Amazon.
