We invite you to join us, in a weekend of events, to celebrate our commitment to unity on
Union. Beginning with our first annual Community 5K, at 10 A.M. ON SATURDAY, APRIL 2,
2016, which will include runners and non-runners alike, and will feature a one mile and three
mile non-timed run, to begin at Lindenwood and commence through Union Avenue, East
Parkway, Poplar, Hollywood/Alicia, and Madison. We will also have a Post-Run Party with
food, local bands, and activities for families to enjoy. On Sunday, April 3, 2016, we are inviting the Memphis community to join us for the historic installation of our first AfricanAmerican female pastor.
We wish to donate a significant portion of the participant fees to the benefactor for this
event, the Mid-South Food Bank, to support their efforts to feed insecure children, families,
and seniors in thirty-one counties.
