Education series for area clergy
Centra Health's Department of Pastoral Care is offering continuing education events for area clergy.
The department began a Brown Bag Lunch and Learn series in January. The 90-minute presentations also will be offered in March, May, September and November.
"It is our hope that these events will offer education, opportunities for networking, and be supportive of the ministry that area clergy provide each day," said the Rev. Randal Walton, director, Centra Health Pastoral Care.
Upcoming programs, to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Craddock Auditorium, Virginia Baptist Hospital, are:
Dealing With Substance Abuse "Pastor, I think someone in my family has a drinking problem. What do we do?" March 11 Brent McCraw, Director Pathways Treatment Center Developing A Health Ministry In Your Congregation May 20 Ruth Syre, R.N., parish nurse and instructor, the Virginia Parish Nurse Education Program The Rev. Randal Walton, director, Centra Health Pastoral Care
Clergy members are asked to bring their lunch, and the department will provide drinks and dessert.
