The Lake and McHenry County Safe Family Network
Presents a Workshop:
"Helping without Hurting" with Guest Speaker Lynn Clay, Certified Poverty Trainer
Tuesday, June 21st, 2016 at 7:00 PM
Alpine Chapel
23153 West Miller Rd. Lake Zurich, IL
Caring
for those who come from a background of poverty can often be confusing
and complicated. We can do a lot of damage assuming everyone should be
"like us." Sometimes those who desire to help, can even create damage to
the very people they wish to serve. This workshop will help us learn to
step into relationships with people who have a different way of
approaching life and creating a bridge that allows us to walk back and
forth between the worlds.
Lynn
has been devoted to Christ for 25 years, a wife to Rich Clay for 24
years, a mom to Kristen (21) and Jasmine (17) and is on staff at The
Chapel in Libertyville for the past 15 years. Her role at the Chapel
includes being a chaplain at the Lake County Jail, overseeing the jail
ministry volunteers, an Area Leader for small group leaders, and women's
pastoral counseling. As a Certified Poverty Trainer, she and her team
teach classes on how to help/partner with those in poverty without doing
more harm than good. Her youngest daughter is adopted, putting her on a
path to learn and grow in ways she never imagined and she is passionate
about getting messy with relationships that take us out of our comfort
zone.
Coffee and Dessert will be provided
We
hope you can join us to learn more about this important issue and meet
local families volunteering with Safe Families and other area
organizations.
