PRMC will be hosting the Stewards of Children® training this week April 18 from 6:30-9:00 p.m. The free training is made available through the Child Abuse and Neglect Council and training conducted by professional trainers from Darkness and Light. Stewards of Children® is an evidence-informed, award-winning training that teaches adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. CEUs are available (free). The training is being offered as a part of PRMC’s Children and Youth Protection procedures and is open to all adults. Adults who currently or plan to serve in any capacity with our church’s children and youth programs should plan to attend (e.g., Sunday School, VBS, nursery, youth mentors, etc). Registration link
