Binki Feels Like a Motherless Child -In-Person and Virtual Worship-Rev. Chris Buice

In our church we have a class called Our Whole Lives offering comprehensive sexuality education to our youth. What if we had a similar class offering our kids comprehensive mental health education? As part of an ongoing sermon series our minister returns to the 236 pages of notes passed to him in class from his friend Binki Hettel between 1979-1983 when they should have been paying attention to the teacher. Binki’s notes offer a very honest account of her struggles with “bipolar disorder” even though we did not know the right word for that condition at the time. Her reflections can help us have honest conversations about our own mental health in this season when the nights are long, the days are short and we are days away from the Dark Moon.
You can watch our worship service streamed at 11 am on our Facebook page https://tinyurl.com/yfx9pnx6, or our website https://tvuuc.org/ and also on our YouTube channel https://tinyurl.com/ycksxc98.)
