AMERICA'S NEW POTUS
 
This Friday, January 20th, the United States of America will inaugurate it's 45th President, Donald J. Trump. Some ask, will he tweet during his inauguration?

Many individuals and families will be affected by our new POTUS and his policies. He has promised many changes in his first 100 days in office. Our response is to pray for guidance and become active in our communities to effect change.

Outgoing President Obama has taken his last week as POTUS to enact changes that will stymie Trump's agenda. Obama leaves a legacy with many positive and negative outcomes. It will be interesting how history will remember America's first African-American president.
