SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About It | Mental Health Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Reports from SAMHSA and CAHMI in recent years have shown that approximately 1 in 4 Americans have had a diagnosable mental health condition. With this prevalence in mind\, discussing mental health experiences in a way that normalizes conversation and care—particularly from the pulpit—is vital to healthy and holistic spiritual care. The UCC annually recognizes the third Sunday in May as Mental Health Sunday\, and this year it lands on May 17\, 2026. But what even is Mental Health Sunday\, why should you host one\, and how do you go about planning a worship service dedicated to mental health? You are invited to join Rev. Dr. Sarah Lund (UCC National Staff) and members of the UCC Mental Health Network’s Board of Directors as they discuss implementing Mental Health Sunday in your own ministry context.

SUMMARY:Future of Faith: Small Town - Full Building
DESCRIPTION:First Congregational Church of Benzonia United Church of Christ strives to create a united community in Christ’s Love. Instead of focusing on the lack of children in the church on Sunday mornings\, we shifted our focus to getting community groups and other organizations into the building throughout the week. We share our hospitality and love by opening our doors (and parking lot) to various groups in our community. From hosting 12-step programs\, to tutoring\, to Single MOMMS\, and the Father Fred Back to School Shoe Event (just to name a few!)\, we are living into our community.

SUMMARY:Youth Lead: Faith\, Identity\, and Calling with Raven Trammell
DESCRIPTION:The next generation of faith leaders is already reshaping what community and calling can look like. Join us for a conversation with Raven Trammell\, storyteller\, speaker\, and founder of Culture Shift\, a creative project exploring spirituality\, identity\, and purpose through storytelling. \nAfter experiencing a traumatic brain injury during his college basketball career\, Raven returned to photography and storytelling\, something he first discovered as a child\, as a way to preserve memory and make meaning of life’s turning points. Today he shares his journey\, including his experience as a trans person navigating faith and identity\, to encourage others\, especially young adults\, LGBTQ+ people\, and Black and Brown communities\, to live fully into who God created them to be. \nThis one-hour conversation will explore resilience\, faith\, identity\, and the ways new generations are imagining spiritual community beyond traditional walls.
