Stress Concerns
We have been through a lot in the first few weeks of social distancing.
We are beginning to hear and see signs of stress.
Children are beginning to ask serious questions.
Attached are a few more resources for identifying stress and talking to children about the virus.
We at the synod office pray for you all daily and look forward to the time we can be together again. As always, if you have specific questions, or need help, please call.
