WCBA PASTORS’ CONFERENCE

God has richly blessed our association with a great group of pastors! On Monday morning we assemble at 10:00 A.M. for fellowship, preaching, testifying, and praying. Most of our pastors who come say they are lifted up and encouraged spiritually by attending this weekly gathering of fellow preachers and ministers. Bi-Vocational pastors are encouraged to come when it fits their schedule. They probably may not be able to come every week because of work, but sometimes they may be off work or on vacation, and when they are they would be blessed, indeed, to meet here at the mission center. Pastors and ministers love one another in Weakley County Baptist Association! We are so blessed!

NEED HELP?

THE ASSOCIATION HAS GREAT CHRISTIAN COUNSELING!

On Wednesday afternoons 1:00-4:00 P.M. and Thursdays mornings 9:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon, Mrs. Weslee Hill , a successful wife and mother of two children, is here in the WCBA office with help for anger management, alcohol and drug abuse, attention deficit disorder, depression, grief or marriage conflict, etc. . .

BAPTIST COLLEGIATE MINISTRY UTM SAYS "HELP!"

The Baptist Collegiate Ministry on the campus of UTM is in need of volunteers to help in a couple of projects this summer. There is a back-line fence that needs some grooming and a retaining wall that needs to be built. If there is a construction team, a men's group, or any other kind of group in your church that would be willing to help with that project, please get in touch with Morgan Owen at the BCM office in Martin. The phone number is 587-2265 or Morgan's cell number is 431-6302. This would make a fine project for your church to do missions on the local level.

LADIES JAIL MINISTRY

The new 2010 "Ladies Jail Ministry" calendar will be made soon. If there are any changes you need to make concerning your church or if you are not involved and your church would like to consider this ministry, PLEASE

Confidentiality and Informed Consent:

I acknowledge that I have been informed of Weslee Hill’s credentials and issues pertaining to confidentiality. Mrs. Hill has a Masters Degree from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina in Christian Counseling and is pursuing licensure in Tennessee. Your time with Mrs. Hill is protected by confidentiality. This means that Mrs. Hill will not discuss the details of your case or your presence with anyone without your expressed written consent. The limits to confidentiality include suspected abuse of a child or a life threatening situation (to yourself or others). In rare occasions, a judge may court order the disclosure of confidential information. Your signature expresses that you understand the above information.

Signature_____________________________________ Date___________________

Special Issues in Working With Children

Confidentiality
With older children (teens) Weslee would prefer to have conversations as confidential as it would be with a legal adult. The child and parents will have a clear understanding that anything that is life threatening will be dealt with safely and recommendations will be made to the parents about dealing with the child in a way that protects confidential conversations with the child and Weslee. With younger children, Weslee will not mention anything about confidentiality to the child, but the family’s confidentiality will be protected.

Court Appearances and Recommendations

In most cases with children, there is not a need to appear in court. However, in some cases, (such as child custody) it needs to be extremely clear that it causes risk to the therapist/client rapport if reports are given to the courts with regard to any confidential conversations between the therapist and the child. If such information is needed, Weslee will be glad to refer to a competent child psychologist or counselor for evaluation purposes, but would choose to remain focused on counseling the child through the issues at hand. Therefore, signing this agreement waives your right to request that Mrs. Hill offer any information to the courts.

Signature__________________________________ Date_________________________

Financial Agreement

Counseling is a service that is the product of education, experience and ongoing professional training. Mrs. Hill continues to
invest in this service through participating in the development of her craft. The hourly rate charged is comparable other therapists with similar or fewer credentials as Mrs. Hill. If the hourly rates are not affordable, Mrs. Hill is committed to working out a plan that will be affordable to you. In some cases accessing assistance from your church may be possible.

Payment

Please offer payment at the beginning of each session. Checks are made payable to Weakley County Baptist Association.

Insurance

Since Mrs. Hill is working towards TN licensing, she is not currently covered by insurance and by signing this agreement, you are committing to pay any expenses not covered by insurance.

Cancellations

A missed appointment is a loss to everyone. Certainly, people make mistakes in scheduling and frankly, forget appointments at times. However, Mrs. Hill has reserved this time just for you and may not be able to fill the appointment on short notice. Please give 24 hour notice if you are not going to be able to come to your appointment. Failure to do so will result in a $50 charge that is not covered by outside payors.
