Conference Schedule
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24
Pre-Conference
1:30 - 4:30 pm Pastoral Care for the Post-Abortive
The Church recognizes that abortion is more than the loss of children. The ripple effect of this loss is a lasting wound that has cut through the hearts and souls of men, women, families and communities. Join us as we look at how the church can pastorally care for these wounded individuals and assist them on their healing journey. Topics include:
