The concert in the park will take place this Saturday 5-24-2025 from noon to six. The weather man played a sleight of hand last week, predicting rain, when it was not, so we cancelled. But it’s on this Saturday. Please join us and add to the fun

It was an honor to receive the Black Achievers Award from The Social Action Ministry of Beulah Baptist Church, but I always remember how I got to where I am in life. Thanks to all those people who brought light and life to me while I was in prison.
