United Methodist Church of Geneva

The United Methodist Church of Geneva is presenting a worship series exploring faith, mental health, and emotional well-being through stories from scripture and the wisdom of local care-centered leaders.
The series is designed to create space for honest reflection on burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, addiction and the healing power of community. Rather than offering simplistic answers or suggesting that people should “just pray harder,” the series will affirm the value of counseling, medication when appropriate, grief support, social-emotional learning, trusted relationships, and other healthy practices that support mental and emotional wellbeing.
Special Sermon Series: Honest Faith, Honest Feelings
May 31, 2026 – Grief: “When Loss Breaks Us Open” Guest Speaker: Jonathan Shively, Fox Valley Hands of Hope
Job’s life is shattered by unimaginable loss. Instead of hiding his grief, Job tears his robe, falls to the ground, and speaks his anguish aloud. His story reminds us that God gives us permission to grieve fully, and that raw honesty can become holy ground.
Community members are invited to participate in person or online. Worship is open to all, including those who are active in church, returning after time away, supporting someone they love, or simply looking for a compassionate place to reflect on faith and mental health.
