Community Announcements:
I (Danielle King) will be collecting NICELY used glasses for a health mission that I’ve been working with Atlanta Montego Bay Sister Cities Health Mission. The health organization has been in existence for 20yrs we offer several health services for the 3 1/2 days where we see over 300 people a day just in optical. It takes place the first week of October every year in St James Parrish Montego Bay and the surrounding countryside. I’m trying to collect as many glasses as possible. These brothers and sister are truly grateful for all the service we provide to them so church I need help in following thru with our mission statement. Doing work in the church community and the world. I will have a box downstairs in the large community room for you to drop your glasses in or just see me if you have any questions. Thank you
Effective Leadership for Building Just Communities ABLE invites you to join us for this training: These are challenging times. They require more of us as leaders. As we are called to create the Beloved Community. As we work for racial justice in our state. We all must step up and increase our leadership capacity. We gather to learn, challenge, and support each other to become the best leader we can. We will start with the fundamentals but leave with more clarity, energy and direction. Join us as we collectively step up on Saturday, August 23rd at 9am-11:30am, Oakhurst Baptist Church, 222 Eastlake Drive, Decatur, GA 30030
