June: We partner with educational prevention and victim services programs to address domestic violence.
We have an opportunity to be a part of a great community initiative organized by Read Charlotte to help prevent reading loss during the summer months. Thousands of children in Mecklenburg County are at risk of falling behind in reading due to the school closure caused by the COVID 19 health crisis. On June 8, 2020 Read Charlotte will launch a campaign that will encourage local families to get a “Reading Checkup”. It is for rising K-4 students. Learn more at https://readcharlotte.org/

Memorial Day: Church Offices Closed
Church offices will be closed Mon. May 25 in observance of the Memorial Day Holiday. The emergency line will be open and monitored.
From Language of God: In the episode, Jim talks with Bishop Claude Alexander about his growing up in the south with parents esteemed in the medical field–his mother was the first black psychiatrist in Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas and his father was family practitioner who was assigned to Martin Luther King, Jr. whenever he was in Mississippi–and about the role of science in racial reconciliation in America today. Claude provides some pastoral and poignant notes of hope at the end of the episode.
Join us “on the ground” as we pray for, clean up, and engage souls in our community.
