FELLOWSHIP WEDNESDAY PROGRAM Mental Illness, Homelessness, and Poverty Wednesday, May 13; 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM Facilitator: Sherry Oja Participants: Min. 10 Sherry Oja, Program Coordinator for NAMI Fox Valley will share with us about the connection between mental illness, homelessness and poverty. Since our focus this year is on homelessness and poverty, we know there is a link with mental illness. We hope to better understand mental illness in general and how these illnesses affect housing and financial security specifically. NAMI Fox Valley exists to improve the quality of life for those with brain disorders (mental illness) and their families and friends through education, support, advocacy and research. The Vision for NAMI is: Through our individual and collective efforts, we will live in a community where mental illnesses are recognized as physical illnesses and treated as such. Continuing the Question Box Conversation Wednesday, June 10; 7:00 PM – 8:45 PM Facilitator: Rev. Roger Bertschausen Participants: Min. 10 The annual Question Box sermon offers our senior minister Rev. Roger Bertschausen an opportunity to respond to questions from the congregation about a wide range of topics.
