The first is Friday, September 15 at Marble Hall in Lakeshore Park; the event will begin at 10:00 a.m.
People look at their pastors, look at the churches, their church families as ways of supporting their community, said Tiki Dixon, a pastor at Oak Grove AME Zion Church. Once those churches say yes, we ll do it, that flows down through the community.

If we create trusted messengers across the city and across the state, then we can move the needle way on the other side of people getting their vaccinations.
