Becoming the Change We Want To See

On Saturday, May 14, the Outreach committee of Central United Methodist Church in a collaborative effort with the Children's Defense Fund, Farish Street Missionary Baptist Church and New Hope Missionary Baptist Church held a Parents Luncheon in the Family Life Center.

To paraphrase Ghandi, we must become the change we want to see. The purpose of the luncheon was to have an open dialogue about how the churches of the Farish Street community could support the youth and parents on becoming the change that we want to see. After a delicious meal, the parents and members present actively engaged in conversation to bring about change in our community through education, support, preventative measures and intervention.

A followup activity is being planned and we hope to see more members and parents present as we become the change we want to see!
