Domestic Violence Presentation, Thursday, 9/01/2011 - 6:00-8:00 p.m. - New Sunny Mount

Greetings Berean:

I trust that all are having an awesome Summer.  As Social Service Ministry Chair, I will be keeping you abreast of various Christian and community education topics, events, activities and programs throughout the year.  These are topics that may not affect you personally; however, someone in your family, church, or perhaps someone you may know could be affected.  In any case, please share, forward or post in your various churches. 

Deacon Richard Hudson, member of New Sunny Mount MB Church, former St. Louis City and County Police Officer will be doing a workshop related to Domestic Violence on Thursday, September 1, 2011 beginning at 6:00 p.m.  Research shows not only women and children are affected, but our babies (teens) and older adults are affected as well.  You are invited to equip yourselves with knowledge and education.  Please join the Health and Wellness Ministry and our Healthy Relationships Ministry this Thursday. 

We hope to see you there.  I personally will be navigating two (2) different meetings but will look for you there.  If you are bringing someone other than yourself, please contact the office at 389-4544 and let Reverend Crumpton know so that we will be well-prepared for your participation.

Blessings In His Name,
Linda Joyce Mackey
