Hope and Healing Workshop April 13

ELGIN, IL (April 5, 2002) - Country Evangelical Covenant Church will host a Hope and Healing workshop April 13 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. with noted licensed professional counselor Steve Earll as the guest presenter.

Hidden family pain and trauma are at the root of many of life's major problems, including individual issues, marriage and parent-child conflicts, workshop literature suggests. Unresolved issues play out in many ways, including divorce, addictions and abusive behaviors that are often passed on to the next generation. This workshop is designed to examine the effects of deeply seated issues and provide steps for ministry resolutions and restoration.

Earll, a member of Faith Evangelical Covenant Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has worked in the area of addictions and trauma for more than 25 years as a therapist, educator, consultant and clinical director of treatment programs. Earll has appeared on Focus on the Family's radio program "Renewing the Heart" and recently led a workshop at the Evangelical Covenant Church annual Midwinter Pastors Conference.

The workshop registration fee is $20. The cost includes snacks and lunch. Checks can be sent to: Country Covenant Church, 43W510 McDonald Road, Elgin, IL, 60123. Country Evangelical Covenant Church is located off Illinois Route 47 in Elgin, about an hour west of Chicago.

For more information about the workshop, call Pastor David Trosper at 847-464-5381 or email him at workshop@countrycov.org. Information about the church's other ministries can be obtained online at www.countrycov.org.
