Huey Long spent four turbulent years as governor of Louisiana. Though a lightning rod of controversy, he instituted a vast free textbook distribution program, a school-building program, and free busing that improved and expanded the public education system. Additionally, Long’s night schools taught 100,000 adults to read. He was a tremendous public speechmaker. In urging people to take action in a particular program, Long was quoted as saying, “The time has come for all good men to rise above principle.”

The same is true for us. During the past month you have read articles detailing the Oakridge Neighborhood Back 2 School Bash, August 16. Today the time has come to rise above the sentiment and principle of doing good and take the step of committing to put your hands and feet into the ministry.

Listed below are the details of the event. Contact me, , today to take part in making a difference in our community. Now is the time for you to take this next step.
