Volunteer Client Advocate Training ~ September 29 - Oct 10
Many people are looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of others. Perhaps you have a desire to become involved in the life-affirming work we offer here at LivingWell. Have you thought, "How could I train to be a counselor?" After all I don't have the experience necessary to counsel women and families facing such a crisis. Let me assure you - while some have more experience than others, no one person possesses every quality necessary for addressing the enormity of many of the problems our society faces today. Now, let me encourage you& - "His power is perfected in our weakness." It is only through Him, that each of us finds the courage, strength, and wisdom to lovingly counsel and support people facing often desperate situations.

Counseling women facing crisis pregnancies is rewarding and truly makes a difference, not just in the life of the mother and her unborn baby, but in the lives and relationships of those effected by this crisis. The ripple effect can be miraculous and the spiritual fruits eternal.

LivingWell will be conducting a six-session client advocate training seminar beginning in September. The purpose of the seminar is to train volunteers to work with those facing unplanned pregnancies. This two-week training course will take place Sept. 29, Oct. 1, 3, 6, 8, & 10 (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) from 9:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. For more information or to register for the training course call Director of Client Services, Char Andrews at 272-6800. Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to make a difference in countless lives in our community.

Hope Retreat ~ Oct. 24-26
Did you know that 44% of all American women will have an abortion in their lifetime? Most women who choose abortion are going against their own moral codes, and this explains why they most often feel guilt afterward. Their guilt over their decision is usually what stops them from talking about their experience or getting the help they need to heal. At LivingWell we are concerned about the whole women. We offer a weekend of healing from your abortion experience. We offer it free of charge so that all women would be able to participate. Please, contact Cathy Seapy at 272-6800 if you'd like to sign up or get more information.
