SUCCESS CLOSET WARDROBE BOX IN CHURCH LOBBY
The Pathways to Success department at Southwestern Adventist University has this exciting program for the Fall semester called the Success Closet. We want to partner with our community to provide young professionals with professional attire. Many times, students at our university struggle financially and for this reason we created the Success Closet. Through the Success Closet our students will be able to receive professional clothing to rock their first interview or create a great first impression. Your donations to the wardrobe box in your church lobby will undoubtedly help students on their pathway to success.
TOGETHER WE SING // JUNE 15 7:30PM CST // MEYERSON SYMPHONY CENTER
Project Unity, a Dallas-based nonprofit working to break down racial divides in our community, is proud to announce the 2022 return of its signature fundraiser, Together We Sing with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, 7:30 pm Wednesday, June 15, at the Meyerson Symphony Center.
An incredible night of inspiration, Together We Sing will feature a tribute to international music icon, Richard Smallwood, with a 200-voice unity choir along with National Gospel Recording Artists. This one-of-a-kind celebration majestically blends gospel and classical to promote unity by bringing performers and audience members of all backgrounds together.
For the first time, in addition to the amazing sounds of music, Project Unity will introduce an awards component to this special evening. The “Together We Awards” will recognize individuals, corporations and organizations who have shown outstanding commitment to supporting and implementing racial unity, inclusion and social justice efforts in the community and workplace that align with our activism on such meaningful matters as we advocate for Unity to leave an impactful legacy behind.
We would love for you to support our work by attending the event, donating or sponsoring tickets for youth in the community who aspire to work in the area of music and the arts. If you are interested please contact Dr. Glyne A. Griffith II at Glyne.Griffith@siriusxm.com

YG SUMMER STUDY: THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
In a world that is unsure of where to find truth or purpose, the book of Acts stands apart. It reveals God’s plan for global redemption, his purpose for our lives, and the power he has given us to accomplish his mission.
Join pastor Louie Giglio in this eight-session series as he walks through the story of the early church. Acts may have been written two thousand years ago, but God is calling us to be a part of that story today.
