Special Program, Wednesday, Sept 25 at the Chapel
Sex Trafficking Statistics In the United States
Wednesday evening Sept 25 during our normal youth programming time we will be hosting Bishop and Karen Right. They represent several organizations that are combatting Sex trafficking here in Georgia, around the country and the world.
You are invited to join us as we hear their stories and educated ourselves. We will learn about the fastest growing business of organized crime in the world and find out ways to help alleviate this modern day slavery that includes millions of children around the world.
Please feel free to join in on the conversation as we learn from Bishop and Karen. We will be meeting upstairs in the sanctuary.
