Welcome, Dr. Danielle Pilgrim
It is our pleasure to once again welcome Dr. Danielle Pilgrim as she joins us in both worship services this Sunday. Dr. Pilgrim is the Lead Community Organizer and Executive Director of JUST (Justice Unites Savannah Together). The Mission of JUST is to empower faith communities to pursue justice together by responding to area problems and advocating for equitable policies and initiatives in Savannah-Chatham County.
During the JUST Nehemiah Action event on May 5, 2025, Chatham County Commissioner Bobby Lockett agreed to establish a Task Force, an entity comprised of key stakeholders and a facilitating partner, charged with creating sustainable systems and funding streams to grow and retain a mental health workforce that meets the needs of a growing population. We look forward to hearing more about this powerful initiative.
Welcome, Dr. Pilgrim!

Wesley Community Center Food Pantry
During the summer months, many children in our community will not have access to nutritious meals. Your donations to the Wesley Community Center Food Pantry will provide healthy options for them. At this time, they need rice, grits, cereal, canned meats, peanut butter, and fruit. Please, no large cans or large bags of rice or grits.

This is a great activity for mature middle school students and older. Watch for further details and contact Julie Vann at jvann@iohumc.com with questions.
