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.

AGAPE TRANSITIONAL HOUSE
be a temporary home for
up to thirty (30) days for a
single mother with no
more than two (2) children under
the age of eighteen (18)
years old.
The
Agape Transitional House will be housed at
Ager Road United
Methodist Church beside the Altar. It can
be accessed from
the outside from the door across from the
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old estimates are no
longer valid and the contractors no longer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.
