Good Morning Family,

Reshaping the Church. This afternoon from 1:00 until 2:15, we will be participating in a teaching and learning series about reshaping the church, particularly during these times of trial and crisis. The monthly sessions are for us to see where we are and to anticipate and planning for our future.

African American Alliance Milwaukee. Many of you have seen and commented on my changing roles. February 4, 2021 was my last day at Milwaukee Area Technical College after 13 years. I’m thankful for the opportunity to have served there. Beginning on February 21, I will become the president and CEO of a newly-formed organization called the African American Alliance Leadership Milwaukee (https://www.aalamilwaukee.org) Here are a few links describing the journey.

In service and love,
Pastor
