Community invited to faith-based appreciation dinner

The Honorable Mayor George Flaggs, Jr. & the City of Vicksburg’s CHAMPIONS FOR HEALTH cordially invite you to…

The City of Vicksburg’s
Community Faith–Based Appreciation Dinner
Keynote Speaker: Honorable Mayor George Flaggs, Jr.
Where: Vicksburg Convention Center, 1600 Briggs Hopson Blvd., Vicksburg, MS 39180|
When: Thursday, September 8, 2022, 6:00–8:00 pm

As we extend our thanks and appreciation to our faith–based organizations in the Vicksburg community, we would love for you to join us. In 2020, Vicksburg was forced to close the doors to many of its faith–based organizations amid the COVID–19 Pandemic—leaving many in the community with no place to worship and fellowship. We believe the Bible is clear in encouraging us to show our love and appreciation to these organizations as they continue to labor so faithfully in the clergy and community. The Bible tells us in 1Timothy 5:17, “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the Word and doctrine.” So, please come to break bread and fellowship with us as we reflect on “Persevering in Times of Crisis”. We hope to see you there!

For more information, please call 601–801–2311.
