Is your church looking for ways to “Repair the Breach” to heal the inequities resulting from generations of systemic racism and poverty? Partnering with the Neighborhood Wellness Foundation (NW) may be just what you are seeking. Co-founded in 2015 by Dr. Gina Warren and Marilyn Woods, NW was established with the goal of creating an integrated approach to community healing and empowerment in Del Paso Heights. The organization works to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction, and poor health outcomes by offering programs like Healing Circles, providing resources for education and employment, and fostering relationships with agencies that serve the community.
The Commission for Intercultural Ministries is excited to present a webinar on Saturday, October 18, from 10:00-11:00 am on what a partnership with NW might look like for your church. We will briefly look at how St. John’s, Roseville’s partnership with NW is evolving, see a video with testimonials from community members, learn about their four major programs, and have some time to ask questions of the NW leadership.
This webinar presents an opportunity for churches to support a community non-profit that is changing lives, especially the lives of young people. Also, because of your location, you might want to support an organization closer to your area. The St. John's story is a model for discernment and engagement that might be helpful to you.
