What's Happening!

Christians in the Line of Duty
WalterMcNeil On Sunday, February 11 Flipper Chapel's Lay Organization will host our annual Founder's Day/Lay Day Observance. This year, in keeping with the theme. "Christians: Protecting the Community, Serving God", the festivities are dedicated to the men and women of Greater Tallahassee's protective service community. Our very own Bro. Melvin Herring (see In The Spotlight) will deliver the message during the 11:00 morning worship which will highlight the life of our beloved founder Bishop Richard Allen with special recognition given to dedicated Flipperite Bro. C.E, Walker. That same afternoon, at 4pm we will welcome various representatives of the area's protective services for a special address to be given by Chief Walter McNeil (left) of the Tallahassee Police Department. Additionally Bro. Oscar Lightfoot has graciously volunteered to provide dinner for those in attendance following the service. We sincerely hope that you make plans to attend and help the Laity give thanks to these brave individuals who place their lives on the line on a continual basis so that we, the general public, might enjoy a sense of security and well-being in our everyday lives.
