LEADERSHIP MEETINGS

Beginning January 2007,  the ABLE Leadership Meetings will be held at 7:00 pm on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month at First Iconium Baptist Church, 542 Moreland Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30316.  Everyone is invited to these meetings.
 
In the past the ABLE Leadership Meetings have been held at 12:00 noon on the fourth Tuesday of each month at various locations.  The meetings were moved to the evening so more lay people can participate.  Our next meeting is Tues. Jan. 23 at 7:00 pm.
