CHURCHES UNITE TO HELP HEROIN ADDICTS

About 30 Butler County churches will come together in a three-day event this weekend in Hamilton to offer hope to heroin addicts and their families.

The event, called Hope Over Heroin, will include a prayer march, testimony from recovering addicts, live music, free food and prizes.  Former Bengal Bobbie Williams, who left the Baltimore Ravens after the Super Bowl win, is expected to speak on Saturday.

"This thing is like a death angel.  It's going into every house," the Rev.  Josh Willis, an organizer, said of heroin.  "We need to appeal to heaven because whatever we're doing here on earth isn't working very good."
