The Health and Inclusion Ministries Committee

of First Presbyterian Church presents:

Inclusion Ministries

Building Bridges with People of All Abilities

Saturday, March 8, 2008

8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Individuals with disabilities face barriers every day, as physical

obstacles and in the form of isolation or rejection from others. The

goal of this conference is to join together as faith and education

communities to raise awareness of those barriers. Nationally know

speakers will discuss ways communities can identify and remove those

barriers and ensure a full life of faith for people with disabilities. A

variety of workshops will be held in addition to featured speakers.

Register for the conference by mail or online.
