Soul Shop

You are invited to attend Soul Shop, a one-day workshop which equips congregational leaders to minister to those impacted by suicidal desperation. After providing a Biblical framework for understanding and preventing suicide, the specialist will develop greater suicide awareness and basic conversation skills, as well as make space, inviting those who have been suicidal in the past to share their stories. There are two opportunities to attend:

Saturday, March 7, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at Christ Presbyterian Church, 530 W Tuscarawas St., Canton, OH 44702;
and Monday, June 8, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at Camp Wakonda, 5045 Dyewood Rd SW Sherrodsville, OH 44675. The workshop at Camp Wakonda has a youth ministry focus, but is open to everyone.

We believe so strongly in this important program, that we are freely offering it, but we might suggest a donation of $20/ person. Lunch will be included. (Additional support and resources provided by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Ohio Chapter.) Register online at www.cantoncpc.org or call 330-456-8113.
