Sacred Listening in Tumultuous Times offered by McAfee
McAfee School of Theology offers for audit Sacred Listening in Tumultuous Times. This course is taught online by the newest faculty member, Dr. Heidi Miller. This course invites students and auditors to experience the spiritual practice of deep – or sacred – listening as they learn to be fully present with the stories of individuals, communities, institutions, and societies who encounter tumult, impasse, or trauma. They will learn how re-storying emerges through a heightened understanding of “the dark night of the soul,” biblical practices of lament, and embodied trauma. To guide students into this spiritual practice, they will also explore their own personal and spiritual formation story. Meets on Zoom on Tuesdays from 8-9 p.m. with Dr. Heidi Miller

Medicaid Re-enrollment
If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you.
-
- Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage.
-
- During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone.
-
- Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage.
-
- Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location
-
- For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
