The same program will be presented both Friday and Saturday. The Friday workshop hours are 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday hours are 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Check-in begins a half-hour before the program starts.

Registration is $15 per person with lunch provided. The workshop is free for clergy.

Vendors will be on site throughout the day to provide resources for battling pornography.
