I hope this message finds you well.

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming monthly cohort meeting, where we will delve into the important topic of Self-Awareness. This session will be led by the esteemed Rev. Dr. Andr Loyd, Jr., Presiding Elder of the Brunswick-Moultre-McRae District of the 6th Episcopal District.

Details of the Meeting:

Rev. Dr. Loyd will guide us through an engaging and insightful discussion on understanding ourselves better, recognizing our strengths and weaknesses, and how self-awareness can positively impact our personal and spiritual growth.

Your presence and participation will be greatly valued as we come together to learn and support one another in our journey of self-discovery and growth.

We look forward to seeing you there!

GET CONNECTED CAMPAIGN

Greetings, Brothers, and Sisters in Christ, 

Some 10 million rural African Americans lack broadband internet, primarily in the South. They cannot use such essential services as online doctor visits, church services, school assignments, family connections, and voter registration. Thankfully, the Federal Communications Commission launched the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), providing nearly 18 million low-income households nationwide with resources to pay for necessary broadband service. The ACP offers eligible families a $30 monthly discount on high-speed internet services, making access free for many participants.

 

Here's what you can do:

1 - Forward to pastors in your network serving rural communities the "Get Connect" Information card below with a contact number and website for guidance through signing up for the ACP program. 

To Apply Call 1 (877) 384-2575 or Visit www.GetInternet.gov/apply.

2. Encourage them to visit - https://www.skinnerleaders.org/getconnected to download the "Get Connected Toolkit."
