Bethune/Height Recognition Breakfast

"Honoring the Legacy, Inspiring the Future"

Mark your calendars, Saint John! The National Council of Negro Women is hosting a breakfast worth getting out of bed for, and some of our very own are in the spotlight. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Evelyn Bethune, granddaughter of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and founder of the Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Family Legacy Foundation, Inc.

We are so proud that Brothers Napoleon Biles and Oakie Moore will be honored, along with Sister Cheryl Degroat-Ayers, our Church Secretary. Let's show up and cheer them on! Celebrating our own is investing in God's people in action.
