13 faith-based communities and churches gathered at Lima Memorial Hospital this morning(10/22/19) for an awards banquet. The funds given to these groups were provided in support of Activated Faith Community Challenge, which encourages local faith-based communities to take control of their health - whether it be mental, physical or spiritual. The groups being recognized were not only given financial assistance but technical support and any other resources they may need for a healthier organization.
A local pastor says enough is enough and says we have to make a change. With the recent mass shootings and local shootings, Pastor Dennis Ward is asking the community to come together to make a difference. He says too many times prayer vigils are held after tragic events and then time goes by and nothing changes. He says now is the time to make the change as it's not a denominational thing, nor is it a black and white thing, it's a heart thing wanting to make a difference.
