AIM Turnout: 5-10 people per
institution
AIM will be doing
trainings on how to conduct “house meetings”
(aka
“listening sessions”) inside of your institution, so that we may
better understand the
issues affecting our people. These listening
sessions are used to
shape the AIM issue agenda and are an
extremely important
organizing tool. Each AIM congregation
should plan to send 5-10
people to the training. (Note: it is the
same training offered
twice, so each person only needs to attend
one session). Please
RSVP to James Pearlstein –
james.pearlstein@gmail.com – with the number of
people who
plan to attend the
sessions.

The
Agape Transitional House will be housed at
Ager Road United Methodist Church beside the Altar. It
can
be accessed
former Pastor’s house. However, the space in its
current
condition is not habitable. In order, to get it back
to livable
condition, it needs a new full bathroom to replace the
current
half bathroom. It also needs new plumbing, flooring,
closets,
cooling and heating wall system and paint. We
have two
estimates from around two years ago for over $8000 and
$10,000 that have since expired. One of the options
for
renovating the space and making it habitable is to
hire a
contractor to the repairs. We will need new estimates
as the
old estimates are no longer valid and the contractors
no longer
live in the area. Our second option is to have some or
all of the
repairs done by members of the Nehemiah Charge who are
able
to do so.
We are asking members to make a pledge to donate
funds; supplies, service and time to enable us get the
Agape
Transitional House ready for the end of fall 2014. If
you are
interested is assisting with this very essential
project in anyway,
please contact Adin Osayande, Carrine Cooper or Vicky
Amaize.
We welcome any ideas or suggestions that you may have
to ensure
that we successful in ensuring that Agape Transitional
House is
ready on schedule. Thank you.
