December 4th CSRT marks the end of CSRT’s for the calendar year 2009. We have covered a lot of material during 2009, in an effort to make your organization a “safe an secure” worship environment. January 1st, 2010 starts a new year full of wonderful possibilities! During the December CSRT, we will end 2009 with a review of all topics of discussion during 2009 CSRT Meetings. In addition, we will be discussing OSHA Annual Safety Compliance Training for calendar year 2010 required by Federal Law.

We will be discussing what safety training is required under OSHA to satisfy federal government regulations. We will discuss the various training topics required to be covered and how you can create an effective Employee OSHA Safety Program for your organization. Employee Safety Training is not an OPTION , but a federal requirement. Let’s fact it, workplace accidents, man made and natural disaster happen everyday across American. These accidents, disasters and incidents cost a lot of money in insurance charges for workers’ compensation claims not to mention the lost of productivity, stress, and possible legal ramifications.

So, do yourself and your organization a favor but ensuring that you know what your responsibilities are under the law and how to achieve those responsibilities by attending this powerful and detail training session. Remember, the Church Security Roundtable is provided to serve you – our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! This training session will cover such topics as;

Now, that we have discussed the necessary foundation required to insure a “Safe Child Environment” within your preschool and middle school, let’s now discuss what action needs to be taken to mitigate circumstances should a breach of safety or security take place within your organization. Watchman Ministry, is proud to introduce Pastor Ron Swift, Crises Intervention Ministry, as it’s guest speaker for the November, Church Security Roundtable Meeting. Pastor Ron is an expert in crises intervention and ministry. Pastor Ron’s years of experience as an expert will provide valuable and critical information to attendees!

Intervention is what the church does daily. Whether it’s through the ministered word, prayer, worship, visitation, etc. — we meet people where they have needs. The most severe point of meeting the needs of the people we minister to is crisis intervention. In this aspect of a church’s involvement is the investment to assist people to properly approach, view, evaluate, walk through, and learn and grow from the experience. When a sudden, catastrophic, short or lengthy; minor or major event or series of acute periods of difficulty or disaster hits — and you assist — you are meeting the crisis ministry needs of that individual or group of people outside or inside of the church. This kind of ministry is missing in many sectors of our community, especially in churches.You will learn how crisis ministry meets the needs of people in the most severe or chronic cases imaginable.You will learn valuable insights that will assist those in churches, vocational settings, family life, social relationships, and medical emergencies. Join Rod Pires and our special guest speaker, Pastor Ron Swift at the Security Round-table as we explore how to examine and engage “Crises In Our Midst.” You won’t want to miss this session as it moves you into an informed and empowered position to make a difference where a difference is urgently needed.

• Receive those who are in a crisis and how to respond to your findings,
• Redirect those in crisis to suitable resources that can make a difference ,
• Rekindle the interest of those in crisis to a potential change in the impact and imprint of the crisis,
