This week we have an article about the United Methodist conference's recovery ministry in West Virginia. It's an amazing story. It touches on everything from Narcan to SUDs being diseases to addicted new born babies to eliminating the stigma to harm reduction. It emphasizes the need for faith communities to help in the fight against our ongoing drug abuse epidemic. Imagine getting our local congregations trained on Narcan so that lives can be saved. And making sure that our churches are seen as safe, welcoming places to folks who are suffering from SUDs and to their families and loved ones. We can make a difference! Please read this story! The link is available in the Parish newsletter and on St. Mary's FaceBook page. If you have any questions or if there are any SUD-related subjects that you are interested in learning more about, please contact Bob at crhoopert@zoominternet.net.
