EPIC Stakeholders Says Goodbye
The last EPIC Stakeholders meeting was on June 25th and it was more of a celebration and thanksgiving event than anything else. The Culinary crew at 2nd Baptist once again served a tasty meal as Nafisah Lewis thank all those people and groups who had contributed to the success of the group. She may have another career as an entertainment entrepreneur as she introduced one talented performer after another.

Turning Points for Frankford!
As a St. Joachim parishioner, I’m glad an organization such as Turning Points for Children has rented our rectory for its programs. You can read more about their mission here. This is a good purpose for our now vacant rectory.
Bob and I recently attended the grand opening of the new community emergency food pantry for families living in the 15th Police District. Notice that it is for emergency needs mainly. It was my pleasure to meet two volunteers there when we went. One is Louise Bundy and the other is Latasha Sloan. These women are very happy to assist families and children who are struggling during hard times for many.
