URGENT NEED: Can You Help With Transportation?
On Sunday mornings some bus routes do not operate at all, or do so with much less frequency. Can you help get folks to church? Please contact Eileen Howard 614-732-4666. Even if you can only deliver one-way, it will be helpful. Our pastors are spending considerable time picking up people on Sunday and we'd like to free their time to focus on worship.

Community Development for All People and South Side Settlement House
As many in the community know, financial difficulties at the historic South Side Settlement House (SSSH) had forced it to cease operations in its facility at 310 Innis Avenue at the end of the summer. As announced in news reports on August 23, all of the programming of the settlement house will now be operated by Community Development for All People. Initially these programs will be housed in temporary spaces near the Innis building. Mayor Coleman is leading the effort to build a new permanent facility from which CD4AP will operate current South Side Settlement programs, along with new initiatives that will be developed over the coming months.
All of our current programming of Church for All People and Community Development for All People will continue to operate without interruption here in our ministry center at 946 Parsons Avenue. We do not anticipate any of the SSSH programs being shifted to our Parsons Avenue ministry center.
