Prayer Vigil   We would love for you to join us as we hold a prayer vigil at the Charlotte ICE office today, Wednesday, January 24, at 11:30am. The address is  6130 Tyvola Center Drive, Charlotte, NC 28217 . We will pray over the grounds where our church member Gilles Bikindou was unexpectedly detained on January 9, 2018, and call attention to the injustice that happened there. 

Please share with your friends and congregations and also ask folks to  sign this petition. We are currently at 940 signatures and are trying to get to 1000. We have some folks coming from our congregation but would be grateful for the support of our friends and partners! If you are in the Charlotte area or have friends, family, partners in the Charlotte area, we would appreciate you passing the word along to them.


Grace and peace-
Rev. Lauren Efird,  Senior Pastor,  Greenwood Forest Baptist Church
