Blessings my brothers and sisters

I hope this letter finds you well.

Our Summer Block Party for the Homeless is scheduled for Saturday, July 20th.

The event is of special significance as we aim to provide a memorable "backyard BBQ" style experience for participants of The Salvation Army Harbor Light and other nearby shelters, and those living in street encampments.

To ensure this initiative's success, we need to raise $10,000. This initiative will allow us to cover the costs of hosting a "backyard BBQ" style event for our shelter guests, including food supplies, equipment rentals, and entertainment.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY CAN PLAY A MAGNIFICENT ROLE IN THE PROJECT’S SUCCESS BY DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST! IF YOU PARTICIPATED LAST SUMMER THAT SAME LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU OFFERED THEN IS NEEDED THIS YEAR!!!

We would be honored to have you there.

Please let me know if you can serve, support and bless this ministry work through your participation as a volunteer on Saturday, July 20th, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

If you would like a table/booth to minister from with handouts/survival kits, or your music ministry render some songs, or you or your Associate Ministers bring words of encouragement, you would be blessing beyond measure.

Your presence in the manner you can serve would not only uplift the spirits of our guests but also demonstrate your dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

LET ME KNOW ASAP IF YOU ARE ON BOARD by texting me personally or a phone call. Feel free to designate someone for communicating your decision.

Thank you for considering my request and your unwavering support of this mission.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Pastor Fields

Carol Engelhart from Calvary Faith and Justice who lives right off Edmond’s Boulevard invites you to sign this petition to change the name of Edmond Boulevard to a historic black person in Minneapolis. I am asking you to join with me in signing this petition for the name change because Edmond Walton was a developer who restricted ownership by people of color by instituting racial restrictive covenants and also not allowing people of color to own property he developed around the Twin Cities This practice led to low home ownership by people of color and an inability to build household wealth, problems that persist today.

Please go to this site and sign the petition. We need to tell the city council that we want a name that honors the black community of Minneapolis and repair the harm from having Edmond’s Boulevard named for a man who restricted black and brown people from home ownership.
