NBC 24 interviewed me before I kicked things off with a welcome and prayer.
The giddy Director of Aurora House, Denise Fox, gave us lots of love and gushed about Toledo First.
A resident of Aurora House spoke eloquently about the transformation that has occurred in her life because of the opportunities provided her through the Aurora House.
The awesome 16 x 4' mural behind her is original artwork painted by our new friend Yusef Lateef [pictured here with the art he created live during the blockparty] and was donated to the Aurora House to mount on a 20' empty wall in their living room.
Mayor Carty Finkbeiner said the recent ribbon cutting on Toledo's skyway was exciting, but that this
event, in this neighborhood, was inspiring. He joked how startling it must seem to some that a church from the burbs of Sylvania would spend so much time and energy in the city seeking to do good as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did. He preached my sermon for me!!! Thank you Mayor!!!
