Dunwoody UMC hosts mental health advocate DUNWOODY, Ga. – Dunwoody United Methodist Church will host William Moyers Oct. 12 as a part of the “One Lamb Initiative” to address mental health. The event, “An Evening with William Moyers,” will be held from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the church’s Sanctuary. Moyers is the vice president of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, an addiction treatment and advocacy organization. He will speak about his best-selling memoir, “Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption.” Moyers’ best-selling memoir discusses his personal experience with addiction, the road to recovery and his personal journey of faith. He will share his story with the church community and how they can support recovery Thursday, Oct. 12. The “One Lamb Initiative” was born in 2020 after members of Peachtree Road UMC noticed a need for support, connection and education for people struggling with mental health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the group encouraged other faith organizations to open their own chapter. For those interested in Moyers’ memoir, Dunwoody UMC will host a two-part, book study series on Oct. 3 and Oct. 17 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. For more information on the “One Lamb Initiative” and “An Evening with William Moyers,” visit https:// www.dunwoodyumc.org/onelamb/
