An Evening with William Moyers | Dunwoody UMC’s One Lamb mental health initiative will host An Evening with William Moyers on Thursday, October 12, from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. in DUMC’s Sanctuary. Mr. Moyers is the Vice President of Public Affairs and Community Relations for the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. His best-selling memoir “Broken” chronicles his personal experience of addiction, recovery, and redemption. On this special evening, William Moyers will share his personal story, his journey of faith and how the church community can support recovery among congregants and in the larger community. Contact Rev. Kathy Brockman for more information.
Resiliency, A forum with Rev. Ron Greer | Resiliency is the capacity to respond to challenges, to recover from difficulties, to heal from heartaches. It means more than just survive - but to come back, to heal. On October 25 at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel we will discuss the pillars of resiliency that best enable us to engage in those stressful times and then look at the possibility that these ordeals can even strengthen us for the challenges ahead. This event is sponsored by the One Lamb Initiative and Stephen Ministry.

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says,‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ – Luke 15:4-6
