Walking

Walk a little while with me Sunday, will you?

Enthusiasm rocks as thousands of participants prepare for the four-mile Focus:HOPE walk Sunday, Oct. 9th at 12:30 pm in the neighborhood at the iconic 1355 Oakman Boulevard address.

Francis of Assisi is remembered today. Catholics implore the help of saints to beg God's assistance on earth. This twelfth-century saint reminds us to love all of creation, including humans and plant and animal life. He was a green saint, so to speak. Often, his prayer for peace is said or sung. Lord, make me an instrument of your peace . . .

Co-founder Eleanor Josaitis will be remembered. It will be the first walk she misses due to her death earlier this Summer. The late Father William Cunnighmam will also be talked about, I'm sure as I meet supporters of diversity and the dignity of all persons across town. They both stood up whileothers sat and said nothing as rioting ravaged Motown.

Visit http://www.focushope.edu/ for more information today, or call 313 494 5500 to register.

Join others and me to stand tall for inclusion of all God's people, won't you?
