LOUISVILLE, Ky.--As in years past, the Presbyterian Health, Education and 
Welfare Association (PHEWA) has announced an extensive schedule of events 
in conjunction with the upcoming 207th General Assembly (1995) in 
Cincinnati. 
 
     The flagship event of the social welfare ministries organization will 
be a dessert gathering July 17 featuring the Rev. Sam Mann of St. Mark's 
Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Mo.  Mann, a prominent African-American 
urban ministry leader, was one of the founders of the recent National Gang 
Summit in Kansas City. 
 
     Most of PHEWA's constituent networks will sponsor activities related 
to their ministries.  The Presbyterian Network on Alcohol and Other Drug 
Abuse will host nightly 12 Step meetings, as well as its annual luncheon on 
July 20. 
 
     The Presbyterian AIDS Network will sponsor a performance of the play, 
"Exposures," July 16 at Mt. Auburn Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati.  The 
play, commissioned by the St. Louis Interfaith AIDS Ministry, draws on real 
life experience to portray the effects of AIDS on its sufferers and their 
loved ones. 
 
     The Urban Presbyterian Pastors' Association and Community Ministries 
and Neighborhood Organizations will host an informal gathering July 16, as 
will Presbyterians Affirming Reproductive Options July 17.
