Northern & Central Louisiana Interfaith will meet to have a conversation about Ouachita Parish on Tuesday,
October 9, 2012 at 6:15 p.m. at New
Light Baptist Church located at 1623 South.
4th Street in Monroe
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.
Deacon Bette Kauffman
will co-chair Tuesday's meeting with The Rev. James Johnson, pastor of New Light
Baptist Church.
To get to New Light,
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!
