Other news:
Guest Preacher on August 9: Dominic Carter of NY1News will be our guest preacher. He brings a message about what is possible with God in your life, as he draws on his own story as "a son of the city who grew up on welfare, in public housing, with no father, and with a mother who suffered from schizophrenia." He shares his story of success and reconciliation as he breaks through the boundaries of discrimination and through the taboos of mental illness in his communities. You may learn more about Carter's story in his memoir, No Momma's Boy. Mr. Carter will join us for discussion and signing afterwards in the Peace Garden.
