Touching Miami with Love is hosting a Family Festival on February 28, 2009 in honor of Black history month. TML’s youth are hosting the event as a fundraiser to help them go to camp during spring break!

Martin Luther King Jr. said “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.“ Join with thousands of Americans across the country as they commemorate Martin Luther King’s vision and dream by serving their communities.
This Saturday, January 17th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we will be participating in a service project at Olinda Elementary School in Liberty City. Liberty City is a predominantly African American community of Miami with a history of oppression and poverty. As we show love to the people in that community, we move toward the healing of deep seated wounds and the reconciliation of a very divided city. Show that love by fixing up the school these children have to be in every single day. We will help paint murals and landscape the school.
As an additional perk, all participants will receive a delicious free meal from the Lost and Found Saloon.
If you are interested in joining, please email Julie at uvita2007@gmail.com by WEDNESDAY.

Just in case you’ve missed our schpeels on ADVENT here is some useful information:
During this holy season we, as Mosaic, will join with the rest of the body of Christ throughout the world in reading the same scriptures, singing similar songs, and promoting the peace and justice of God’s Kingdom.
So here are some ways you can participate:
Please email me with the Sunday that you’re available and what you’re interested in doing. Thanks for being an active participant in worshiping as a community.
Peace + Justice,

TML’s primary focus is in the southwest quadrant of Overtown and Downtown Miami. Downtown Miami and Overtown is a small inner-city community of 12,000 people in the midst of metropolitan Miami-Dade (2.3 million). This area is the poorest community in the State of Florida. The community is plagued with many consequences of poverty including high crime, drug trafficking and use, high teenage pregnancy rate, single parent families, substandard housing, failed education and lack of quality activities.
Please consider serving the youth and children of Overtown this Holiday. If you’re interested in connecting please contact Christy Craddock at (305) 416-0435, ext 202 or christy@touchingmiamiwithlove.org
