My church is in the heart of the county seat. Though we are considered part of the suburbs of Philly, our church is in the urban section of the town and county. Many within our congregation are affluent and do not understand what it means to do urban ministry. I am using UrbanMinistry.org to educate our congregation.

Thanks for the tool which will enable us to ministry not out o fa position of privilege but as equal participates in the community of God.

12th Baptist Church After School Program held an open house for parents of a local school and are excited about the potential for new students!

Greenwood Shalom After School Program had a Black History Month Celebration on Friday, where children performed on various Black History themes for parents and community partners.

As the Director of the Performance Art program at Grace Renaissance After-School Program (GRASP), TechMission Corps member, Thierry Pelissier helped urban youth display and develop their talents through singing, dance, poetry and speeches. With funding from a grant, Thierry was able to bring innovations to the program by negotiating the purchase of a music studio, where he dedicated his time to training students in the basic components of recording music.

Psalm 106:1 says Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. I thank God that even when you think things can't get any worse, and then they do, that God is still Good and Merciful, and in Him I can find Peace.

Lately I have been wrestling with wild inadequacies in myself. Failing multiple times a minute. Frustrated that many areas of my personality produce imperfect organization, relationships, projects -- I can never find my keys and often recruit my two-year-old into the adventure of finding Mommy's wallet.
