Guiding Lights

Sharon

Guiding Lights is an outreach program of the Interfaith Community Against Domestic Violence (IFCADV). The goal is to create a networking group of liaisons between the IFCADV and individual congregations.

Every faith community is invited to designate one person to be a Guiding Light—a domestic violence resource contact in that congregation--for one year.

If you would like to represent your faith community as a Guiding Light, IFCADV requests that each candidate purchase an individual membership to the Interfaith Community Against Domestic Violence for $35 to help defray the cost of the Guiding Lights program.

A loving heart, a desire to help, some experience with ministry, and an openness to diversity.

The Montgomery County Family Justice Center (FJC) is seeking volunteers to serve as Pastoral Care providers for domestic violence survivors. This new Center in Rockville provides wrap-around services for survivors in a single location, including legal advocacy, immigration assistance, sheriff and police services, counseling, and spiritual support. Volunteers need to be recommended by their faith community. The volunteer commitment includes free domestic violence and pastoral care training, a personal interview, a criminal background check, and 100 hours of service at the FJC over a 6-month period in half or whole day increments. For more information on the Center, visit www.montgomerycountymd.gov/FJC.
