UPDATE 9/28/23: The event originally scheduled for October 9 has been canceled. UCG and Zion hope to reschedule to a later date, and apologize for any inconvenience they may cause!
The United Church of Garretson and Zion Lutheran church are jointly hosting a mental health awareness event called A NEW NORM led by Tom Roberts and Amber Reintz on October 9th from 6:30pm to 8pm at the Legion.
Roberts is an External Relations Coordinator at Children’s Home Foundations in South Dakota, and a noted author of many children’s books, and a gifted storyteller. He’s also spent a lifetime in the Arts in South Dakota, working in the Artists in the Schools programs across the state and known for historical reenactments, as well as being a beloved stage actor for more than 40 years in productions all across the state and nation. This year will mark the third year in a row he’s played Ebenezer Scrooge in the Sioux Falls Community Theater’s production of A Christmas Carol.
Amber Reintz is a nurse practitioner from Avera Behavioral Health. This is an interactive, fun, and educational program to promote mental wellness in children and youth, but ALL can benefit from this free event.
Both local churches want to express their gratitude to the Henry G. Fix American Legion Post #23 for lending the event space at no cost! There will be refreshments following the event provided by the churches.
