Soul Shop

Soul Shop, a one-day workshop that equips congregational leaders to minister to those impacted by suicidal desperation, will be held June 8, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Camp Wakonda, 5045 Dyewood Road SW, Sherrodsville, OH 44675. The workshop at Camp Wakonda has a youth ministry focus but is open to everyone. 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.

This important program is freely offered, but a donation of $20/person is suggested. 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.

2020 Small Church Conference

The Presbytery of West Virginia’s 2020 Small Church Conference will be held Saturday, Sept. 12, at the First Presbyterian Church in Clarksburg, WV.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has had us all focused in many other directions these past several weeks, the Small Church Conference planning team has made some progress on this year’s event. This includes choosing the conference theme – “Encouraging and Equipping” – as well as the keynote speaker – Rev. Dr. Judi Slater [the pastor of Duquesne (PA) First Presbyterian Church and a member of the Shared Ministry Team for Lincoln Place Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh]. In addition to her keynote presentation, she will also lead a workshop.
