Conversations about Ouachita Parish
 |
| The Rev. Dale Farley, Messiah Lutheran, and Minister Mary Ann Cooper, Bethel COGIC, co-chair a recent Interfaith assembly. |
Tuesday, Oct. 9, 6:15 p.m.
New Light Baptist Church
1623 So. 4th St.
A diverse group of people will
gather Tuesday evening to share a potluck meal and their visions for
Monroe and Ouachita Parish. Episcopalians volunteered to provide desserts. To keep it simple, I have encouraged everyone to pick up a dozen cookies.
Northern
& Central Louisiana Interfaith is a coalition of primarily
faith-based institutions that purposefully crosses lines that
historically divide people, lines of religion, race, socio-economic
status and geography. We cross these lines in order to work together to
improve the quality of life in the community for everyone.
I will co-chair Tuesday's meeting with The Rev. James Johnson, pastor of New Light Baptist Church. If anyone needs a ride, I plan to depart from campus no later than 5:45 p.m.
To
drive yourself, go south on Hwy 165 to Winnsboro Road (a.k.a. Hwy 15),
turn right, go to either 4th or 5th St., turn right
again. In the first block, you'll see New Light Baptist Church, with a
large parking lock and blonde brick buildings that extend from 5th to
4th St., just around the corner from Winnsboro Rd.
If you have a vision for Ouachita Parish, this will be a great place to share it. Hope to see you there!
P.S. Unfortunately, this meeting conflicts with Ultreya, but, hey, not everyone goes to Ultreya, right!
