Alongside You...Tending the Soul
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Faith Formation and Health Ministry Teams want to highlight the importance of our mental wellness. God wants peace and wholeness for us—in body, mind and spirit. Renewing our minds takes intention—especially in the midst of daily life challenges.
In our podcasts and our newsletter articles this month, we will hear from a psychologist about ways we can promote our mental wellness day to day, we’ll talk about some SAPC offerings that focus on mental wellness and support, and we’ll hear from some folks in our congregation about things they’ve done through connection and community to enhance their well-being. Comments or questions? Contact Jessica Brueggeman.

SAPC Grounds Maintenance
Church volunteers are needed to assist the Facility Committee with the upkeep of our property. Due to budget constraints, we are unable to hire a landscaping company this year. We are looking for 10-11 people who will commit to one task throughout the year. Some of the tasks are weekly, some are monthly and some are quarterly. If you volunteer for a task, it will be your responsibility to complete the work without reminders from the church staff. If you’d prefer to be a back-up volunteer, you’ll be contacted as needed by the staff. The committee also asks that every time you work that you pick up any litter that you come across. If you have questions, contact Facility Manager Cindy Ingalls at cingalls@sapc.com.
