Sickle Cell Awareness Blood Drive // SUN AUG 13 @ 10AM-3PM // parking lot // Elijah Henderson recently reached a milestone birthday – sweet 16. Every birthday is a reason to celebrate for Elijah because he suffers from severe sickle cell anemia. Life expectancy for patients with this condition is short. His mother, Asia Jones, wants to raise awareness of sickle cell anemia, and also help replenish some of the blood supply that has been available when Elijah needed it. The Central Blood Bank mobile unit will be taking donations in the parking lot during worship on August 13. Email mike@hotmetalbridge.com.


The Opioid Crisis: A Community Gathering // WED AUG 16 @ 7:30PM // main hall // Addiction to heroin and other opioids has become a national crisis that touches everyone.

Carmen Capozzi, a member of the governor’s Advisory Council on Drug & Alcohol Abuse, will lead the discussion along with representatives from Allegheny County and members of Sage’s Army, a nonprofit organization that Mr. Capozzi founded to raise drug awareness and prevent addiction. There will be time for questions and discussions following the presentations. A collection will be taken at the end of the program from anyone who wants to support the work of Sage’s Army.
