More the 40 churches and organizations and many individual planned, promoted, brought cookies and coffee, did the media and the website, wrote and gave stories, set and cleaned up, and contributed and participated, this event in multiple ways. At genuine THANK YOU the extend to everyone in whatever role you played. Each person and group was significant in amazing Celebration that took place.

There were people of ALL ages with broad spectrum of racial and religious backgrounds. We heard stories about restoration, reconciliation, answered prayer, redemption, forgiveness, love, hope, grace, peace with justice and caring for each other in Jesus name. It was glorious!
