Here is more information on our involvement in this great cause:

• David Chapel will be a host site for HIV/AIDS testing Sunday, March 4th from 10:30 am until 3:00 pm in rooms 4ABC and 7AB. Test results are confidential.
• Pastor Parker will give special emphasis to HIV/AIDS in his sermon on Sunday.
• Brochures with more information about this epidemic will be available at church.
• Pastor Parker will be participating in The Black Faith-based Initiative’s Pastor’s Testing Day at Simpson United Methodist Church on Tuesday, March 6 at 10 am. The purpose of pastors publicly taking this test is to show their support for testing and to encourage their congregations to be tested themselves.
