Description
The Opiate Crisis Prophetic Witness Team Presents: "Opiates...What is a Church to Do?" Spring Workshop. (A Free Event)
A workshop designed for people, who want their churches to make a difference.
With featured speaker Rev. F. Lee McDermott who cites:
We need to change the conversation…. from one that condemns, to a conversation that offers hope;. from one that punishes, to a conversation that holds people accountable with compassion and grace; from one that shames, to a conversation that offers forgiveness and redemption.; from one that blames, to a conversation where we all recognize we had a role in why the world is the way it is, not to scapegoat other segments of our society.
Topics to be discussed include:
“How to talk about addiction in the sanctuary and in other church conversations.”
“Recognizing the Humanity within those who suffer from drug misuse disorder.”
A local Panel, will be present sharing their personal and professional stories concerning the opiate crisis.
Lunch will be provided by Sticky Fingers BBQ. (There is not a vegan option)
All are welcome to attend!
