ABLE
LEADERSHIP MEETING ON SEPTEMBER 25th
ABLE exists
to identify leaders, and then nurture, train, and develop those leaders
so that together their voices can be heard. We meet monthly
on the last Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM.
This month we will be focusing on the Public Meeting and hearing
updated reports from the various committees. We encourage everyone
to attend so you can hear about your congregation's or organization's
responsibilities for the public meeting and join the established
committees.
Congregations and
organizations are encouraged to send eight or more individuals who are
interested in developing their leadership skills to the ABLE Leadership
Meeting on Tuesday, September 25 at 7:00 PM at First Iconium Baptist Church, 542
Moreland Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30316. Please come!
