SEX TRAFFICKING PREVENTION WORKSHOP
As part of our ongoing community workshop series, we are partnering with Lighthouse for Life to present Sex Trafficking 101. This workshop is a foundational training designed to educate community members about the realities of sex trafficking and empower them to recognize, prevent and respond to exploitation.
The training will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM here at McGregor.
Unfortunately, as we have seen in recent newspaper articles, sex trafficking occurs right here in our community. This workshop equips participants with critical awareness about what sex trafficking is, how it operates, who is vulnerable, and the tactics traffickers use to recruit and control victims through force, fraud, and coercion. Participants will also learn how to recognize warning signs, understand the long-term impact of trauma on survivors, and take practical steps to help prevent trafficking in their communities.
There is no fee to attend, but preregistration is requested. RSVPs can be sent to mcgpresadm@gmail.com or call the church office at 803-781-2391. Questions? Contact Jayne Woodward at minniewoodward@aol.com.
