"Efforts to halt AIDS are falling far short of their targets. Over 25 million people have been lost to AIDS so far, and 4.3 million people were infected with HIV this year. The spread of HIV is quickening – with more people infected in 2006 than in any previous year. This is despite the number of promises by world leaders to provide services to curb the rates of infection and to bring down deaths." (World AIDS Campaign)

"Our church welcomes all living with HIV/AIDS, their
families, friends and care partners"
Many people with family members and friends who have died
or who are living with HIV/AIDS have let us know how much
it means to walk into a Disciples of Christ church and see
these words prominently displayed. It means that they don't
have to risk the possibility of more pain by "asking" if
they are welcome. Order your poster by calling toll free
(888) DHM-2631 or (317) 713-2641.
