Seventh Annual Social Ministries Conference
Christians are responding to substance use disorder.
Did you know that use of alcohol, tobacco, opiates, and other substances cause changes to the brain?
Did you know that the brain can heal?
Did you know that healing takes place in community?
Let's reduce stigma so that this healing can happen!
Join us for one of our regional conferences. These days will center on creating connections so that our communities can heal. With many thanks to our speakers, hosts, and sponsors, we are pleased to offer these conferences free of charge. Please RSVP so that we can prepare materials and lunch.

Seventh Annual Social Ministries Conference
Thank You
You will receive an email reminder with more details approximately 10 days before the event you selected.
In the meantime, please pray with us:
You are the visible face of the invisible Father,
of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness
in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error:
let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen.
