Showing up when others need us

Upcoming Events

Support Group for Parents of Young Adults

Beginning Monday, February 3 | 5:30-6:30 p.m. | Cornerstone House

Parenting young adults can be a challenge, and even more so when the young adult has a mental health diagnosis.  If you are the parent of a young adult with a mental health diagnosis or the parent of a young adult with a physical health diagnosis with mental health repercussions, you are invited to participate in a support group facilitated by Alison Messick-Watkins.

Registration is required and participation is limited to 12 persons

Service of Wholeness & Healing

Sunday, April 6 | 5-6 p.m. | Sanctuary

All are welcome to a meaningful service that will include prayer, Scripture, music, the lighting of candles, and anointing with oil. Gather as the body of Christ to support and lift each other up.

Afterward, gather for a simple supper together by registering here.

Hosted by the Mental Health Ministry.

Pastoral Care

All of our pastors offer pastoral care for those in our midst. Pastors visit members in the hospital, in nursing homes and senior living facilities, and in their homes. If you want to connect with a pastor, email care@myersparkpres.org

One of our pastors is on call 24/7. If you are experiencing an emergency, such as a death or a hospitalization, call (704) 376-3695. After business hours, follow the prompts to leave a message for a pastor to return your call.

To be added to our prayer list, call the church office or let any of our pastors know.
