Mississippi church services target racism
An ongoing effort to confront racism is producing five worship services in the Mississippi Conference this year to get people gathered and inspired to be change agents against racism.
Disaster Relief
People gather at the outdoor prayer pavilion at Gulfside Assembly in Waveland, Miss., in 2019. Hurricane Katrina destroyed every building on the grounds in 2005. The current emphasis has shifted away from bricks and mortar due to prohibitive insurance costs. Photo courtesy of Gulfside Assembly Facebook page.

Gulfside Assembly in Waveland, Mississippi, is celebrating its 100th birthday this year and hopes to raise $150,000 to continue its ministries after weather-related setbacks. Fundraising events include a golf tournament and banquet.
