What current programs does the church have right now?
Richard Lobel

You know, I think I probably would maybe ask Bishop Butler if he'd like to address that.
0:15:04
I'm happy to answer any questions in the short term, but perhaps if the Bishop wants to
Kevin Riley

I do.
0:16:24
Yes, sir.
Kevin Riley
0:16:25
Thank you.
0:16:26
Bishop, what type of programs do you have operating out of the church?
Tyrone Butler
0:16:29
So for example, we do community impact programs like Thanksgiving, the last community feeding we did, which we fed hot meals to everyone in the community who desired it.
0:16:39
We literally had to do it outside.
0:16:41
It wasn't comfortable.
0:16:42
Of course, it wasn't convenient, but we fed hot meals to everyone in the community.
0:16:46
In the summer, we also have our programs where we go outdoors, give away bags, items, as well as food for the families in the community.
0:16:56
We just also launched a brotherhood program to attempt to get more young men to come into some of our contact with our church programs.
0:17:04
So we're constantly looking for other ways to impact, particularly families in the community, particularly young people, young men and young women to get them into a more positive aspect of life.
0:17:14
So between our youth programs, our feeding programs, we're always trying to do something to show our touch and our sort of concern for the community, not just our worship services.
