SAFE ENVIRONMENT CORNER: Did you know? ...
Did You Know…the patterns and methods used by abusers of vulnerable adults are similar to the behavioral patterns of those who abuse children. There are those who seek out and “groom” vulnerable adults and those who take advantage of particular situations by abusing them. These abusers are primarily found among family members, care providers and others who are known and trusted by the adults. When the victim is an adult with intellectual or developmental disabilities, the offender is often a care provider. However, when the victim is an elderly person, the most likely perpetrator is a family member. For more information, contact the Safe Environment Office at (315) 393-2920.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
for the March 18/19 Bulletin
Lenten Creation Care Thought:
Praying for a change of heart is more difficult than giving up chocolate, or desserts! If we can pray to make one change in ourselves, then perhaps we maybe will find the power to make a change that will benefit the health of our common home. An old quote from the Christophers said “It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness!”

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:
for the March 25/26 Bulletin
Lenten Creation Care Thought:
“I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that. Then I realized that I was the somebody.” (Lily Tomlin) Is there something that would benefit our common home and you have wondered why someone wouldn’t do it? In this context are you willing to be ‘that someone’ this Lent?
