luncheon series: sideways grace

/

Please join us for our first of many (we hope!) lecture series by Bryan Kelly, Sideways Grace.

This month Bryan will share ideas of people who are broken together; the theology of walking "with" instead of doing ministry "to".  The discussion will also include how to walk with hurting people, explaining on an expanded view of sin from wickedness and rebellion to include brokenness and the process of sanctification.

Bring your lunch and come ready to learn!!

cgm mentoring program receives $100k grant

/

The Central Alabama Community Foundation awarded Common Ground Montgomery's Mentoring Program $100,000 through their "Curb the violence in the River Region" Focus Grant.

The Mentor Program, under CGM associate director Kevin King, aims to pair students in our after school program with godly mentors that will be involved with the student from 4th grade through graduation.

These mentoring relationships are not meant to replace students' families, but rather, to partner with the families and support them through life-on-life activities and experiences.

For more information on CACF you can visit www.cacfinfo.org.

It takes a lot of people to make organizations like Common Ground Montgomery and House to House work, and it takes a lot of volunteers to help make a difference with the work that CGM and H2H is a part of in the Washington Park neighborhood. Thanks to all the volunteers, official and unofficial, that help us do the work that we do.
