Illness Week |
|
Don't
miss this annual
outreach event sponsored by Rest Ministries
the second week in September (2008 is
Sept 8-14th). Besides all the seminars
during the week (over the phone this year!)
it's a terrific
|
time
to remind your church that nearly 1 in 2
people live with a chronic illness and 96%
of illnesses are invsible! Have a special
speaker, kick off a HopeKeepers event, have
something special for caregivers. We'd love
to hear what you have planned! |
