Time:
7:00pm
Location:
Maranatha Free Reformed Church, 1114 Old Mohawk Rd, Ancaster
Description:
Domestic Violence:
Why is it so hard and uncomfortable to speak about domestic violence? Studies have shown that women in Christian groups are just as likely to experience violence as the general population. It is a sad reality that domestic violence is present in Christian families. Domestic violence affects everyone and we need to create a safe space to listen and dialogue in our church communities. We invite you to come to create awareness and build support around your faith community to provide services to victims as well as perpetrators. Our speaker for the evening is Gioconda Suarez, a registered psychotherapist. She taught for several years at Redeemer University in the sociology department. Her church background has focused on Bible teaching and directing youth programs. She has a passion for sharing God’s Word and making it applicable to today’s challenges. There is limited seating so please register by calling 866-833-2741 or email at info@christiancounsellingcentre.ca.
Our AGM will follow after the close of the information evening. Information will be provided about WraparoundCCC and Christian Stewardship Services.
