Studies show that kids are present during at least 36 percent of domestic or intimate partner violence incidents.? The things children see and hear stick with them; when those experiences are violent, they can have a lifelong impact. The single best predictor of children becoming either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence later in life is whether or not they grow up in a home where there is domestic violence. We ask you and your church community to join Casa Central in recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention Month with our first ever SHARE A PRAYER campaign.The idea is simple: Publicize the Share a Prayer campaign with your congregation.? Your congregants can write their prayers on the prayer cards we’ll provide, make a small donation to support the services provided here at Casa Central, and add their prayers of support to the Share a Prayer display throughout the month of October, or on a particularly targeted day of worship (depending on what works best in your setting).? At the end of the month, we’ll collect the prayer cards and donations from all our participating partners!Your Share a Prayer kit will include:Prayer cards on which congregants can write their thoughts;A heart to display the prayer cards;Instructions for your congregants;Sample text for announcements;A (non-locking) box for collecting congregants’ donations (unless your church has something you’d prefer to use for these purposes);Resources about preventing and responding to domestic violence.Please let me know what questions you have, and if you and your church would like to participate—we’d love to arrange a time to drop off your Share a Prayer kit!Contact:Mary ReynoldsPhone: 773.645.2376_____________________________________________________________________________________________Date of Event:October 3 to 31, 2016Online month event.Location:Facebook: IAMUNBEATABLE2Sponsored by QuanadaCounty Coverage:AdamsEvent Description:TITLE OF EVENT: We are launching a national campaign with renowned photographer, Donna Ferrato.
