EDITOR'S NOTE:
 
This is a terrific opportunity for clergy and lay ministers of ALL faiths to receive current and valuable information on gambling addiction and recovery issues - both clinical AND practical - for immediate application within multiple ministry settings (parish, mission outreach, and pastoral counseling).  The IGCCB Clergy/Lay Ministers Certification on Gambling Addiction Awareness, Prevention, Education, and Spiritual Outreach Care is designated a National/International Certification.  This is cutting edge ministry - meeting our world's present and very real challenges in facing gambling addiction as it impacts gamblers of all ages and cultures, their families, friends, associates, and employers.
 
Plainfield, Indiana neighbors Indianapolis, I 465, and the Indy Airport: an accessible and central location!
 
There is still time to register! 
 
Blessings,
