Join us as we venture on a journey from November 1st through December 31st to improve vaccination knowledge and vaccination rates, promote health equity, and ensure that members of the black community have equitable access to the protection and education provided by vaccines.
Each Monday, you will hear from our denominational leaders. We will also host two live events with leaders within the health arena and are excited that 15 churches across the Connection will be hosting vaccination sites on various days.

"I cried out to You, oh Lord; And to the Lord I made supplication" Psalm 30:8 (NKJV)
It's a privilege to know that God chose a remnant to serve this ministry daily as guides, intercessors and participants. I'm often reminded that it's not the quantity but quality of prayer that makes a difference in the life of his people.
As Thanksgiving approaches, let's remember to be thankful for the ministries God has given us charge over, thankful for this platform of prayer and thankful that he chose YOU to participate.
I absolutely love you and there is nothing you can do about it.
In The Spirit of Servanthood
Rev. Dr. Bonita👣🙏

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."
