What current programs does the church have right now?
0:15:10
Sergeant, can we get the Bishop speaker's card?
0:15:38
And while we wait for the bishop, you said the architect is online?
0:15:42
What's his name again?
0:15:44
Dan, can you hear me?
0:15:47
Alright.
0:15:47
We're gonna swear you in right now, Dan.
0:16:00
Thank you, Bishop.
0:16:25
Thank you.
0:16:26
Bishop, what type of programs do you have operating out of the church?
Richard Lobel
0:14:58
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
0:15:41
He is.

Dan Ruzeu
0:15:46
Yes, sir.
0:15:49

Why don't

0:15:52
we call the bishop and swear both of them?
0:16:05
Could you please raise your right hand?
0:16:07
And mister Russo, could you also please raise your right hand if you can turn on your camera?
0:16:12
Thank you.
0:16:13
Could you please say both of your names for the record?
0:16:17
Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth in your testimony today in response to member council member questions?
Max Bookman
0:15:56
Hey, Bishop.
0:15:58
Thank you.
Tyrone Butler
0:16:04
Good morning.
0:16:24
I do.
0:16:24
Yes, sir.
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.
