Nativity will host special luncheon for ministers

The Episcopal Church of the Nativity will host a luncheon for ministers in Fayette County on Friday, Sept. 15. Sponsored by the Southern Crescent Sexual Assault Center, the luncheon will provide valuable information helpful to ministers in pastoral situations involving victims of sexual assault.

"Fayette County is not immune to the culture in which we live and the communities we serve", said the Rev. Bob Hudak, Pastor of Nativity. "Recognizing the trusting relationships we so often find ourselves in as pastoral ministers, the Southern Crescent Sexual Assault Center would like to help us know more about this very personal crime and what we as church leaders can do in our service to all God's people."

Statistics from the Department of Justice indicate that sexual assault is one of the fastest growing crimes in our country. The mission of the Southern Crescent Sexual Assault Center is to provide crisis intervention services, resource information, legal advocacy to survivors of sexual assault and their families, and community education.

For more information, call the Center at 770-603-4045. More than 112 invitations have been extended to the ministers of congregations in Fayette County.
