The newly formed Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Team

at BUMC is committed to fostering an ongoing conversation about

domestic violence as we seek to follow Jesus’ command to, “love one

another as I have loved you.”  John 15:12.

 

The team will coordinate information/training sessions at the request

of BUMC groups with the Resource Center of Somerset (RCS);

provide information on volunteer opportunities and community events sponsored

by the RCS; and organize ongoing activities to support the work of the RCS.
