At Your Service

Sunday, 28 February 2021 - 30 minutes

We're constantly told that "it's OK to be not OK" - yet why is there so often still a stigma attached to mental health? Why do we feel it's a sign of weakness? That we should be able to "snap out of it" .... That we don't need anyone's help .... And could going to church make things even worse, when we're told in our hymns and prayers to "rejoice in the Lord at all times" ?
On At Your Service this week, Rev'd Steve Ingrouille, Methodist Minister in the East of the Island, shares a moving account of his own experience of breakdown, and Caroline Salmon, a Methodist Local Preacher based in Ramsey, wonders what a truly inclusive church should look like? One that welcomes, accepts and helps people, whatever their state of mental health.
AND YOU'RE INVITED to a special service to be held (all being well!) in Onchan Methodist Church on Sunday 7 March at 10.30am - to give thanks and pray for all the Island's mental healthcare services and their staff - all the organisations will be represented in the church, alongside members of Government.
And there's music too - Gareth Moore sings and plays an inspiring version of Andrew Murphy's hymn 'In The Wonder of Creation', there's worship music from Matt Redman, and a beautiful musical setting of Psalm 42 by The Sons of Korah
If you'd like to request your favourite hymn or sacred song for inclusion in a future programme, do please email me with the details - judithley@manxradio.com
And that's the email address to use, if you'd like to send me details of services and events for inclusion on our Notice Board
