We appreciate
those who took the time to use our Lenten Devotionals provided by the
Addiction Ministry Network in the Presbytery of Redstone. We hope
these devotionals helped you in your ministry to understand the
importance of reaching out to those impacted by alcohol and other
drugs. We thank you for joining us on this journey and hope you will
remain apart of our ongoing conversation about addiction in our
communities.
The Addiction
Ministry Network would greatly appreciate your personal involvement
in meeting with us at our regular meetings as we join together in a
conversation to discern where the Holy Spirit is leading us to help
our communities. Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 8,
2017 at Noon at the offices of the Presbytery of Redstone in
Greensburg, PA.
We recognize
even though you might be interested in these important issues, you
might not be capable of attending a meeting. This does not mean you
can not join the conversation within our presbytery. We will be
using this blog space to communicate our activities, ideas, stories
and resources. Your comments, ideas, and thoughts related to our
blog posts are welcome and help to keep the conversation going.
NOTE: All comments are moderated and only comments appropriate to
the topic being discussed will be shared.
We want to
encourage your participation in joining the conversation by sharing
your own articles, ideas, experiences, stories, and suggestions. As
a pastor do you have a personal experience related to providing
pastoral care in the midst of an addiction problem? Are you a church
member with a personal story of recovery or a story of recovery
within your family? Has the church found itself engaged within the
issues of their community related to alcohol and other drug abuse and
has a story which could guide others? We would like to hear from
you. Please send your potential postings to the e-mail address:
redstonetogether@gmail.com
We reserve the right to edit or decline publication of any material
submitted.
A few of us from
the group will be sharing our experiences on how others can join the
conversation at the “Regional Connection for Partnership and
Networking” hosted by the Synod of the Trinity. We will lead a
conversation at two of the four regional events. The first will be
in the Southwestern Region at the First Presbyterian Church in
Morgantown, WV on Thursday, May 11, 2017.
The second event will be
the Northwest Region at Crestfield Camp and Conference Center outside
of Slippery Rock, PA on Friday, May 12, 2017. Both events begin at
9:30 a.m. and run until 3:30 p.m. To register online and get more
information about each regional gathering go to this link, Synod Regional Connection.
You need to
register by Monday, May 8, 2017 at 5 p.m. on the Synod's website.
