Tragedy struck the Emerald Youth Swim team this weekend. Charanissa Humphrey, the single mother of four children on the EYF swim team, died in a car wreck Saturday morning. God has connected several in our family with the Humphrey family. The Kellys, Fosters and Petty's mentor three of the children, four of the kids are on the swim team, and Sandy Greek has taught Thomas, the oldest son at Fulton. We are trying to discern how best to help them. The funeral service will be Friday, June 21 @ 1 @ Payne Avenue Missionary Baptist Church on Western Ave, just east of Austin East High School.
Stephen Otis's Class Moves to Monday Nights
New Class on the Gospel of Mark, led by Stephen Otis, Starts June 24th! When: Mondays, 6:00-8:00 pm (June 25th-September 10th) What: The gospel of Mark is the announcement of the work and truth of Jesus Christ in response to the persecutions in Rome under the cruel dictatorship of Nero. Victory and authority over darkness (chaos) and hope in the eternal kingdom are readily present themes. The class will dive into the gospel of Mark through reading, study, lecture, dialogue, meditation and prayer. Come soak in the Word (healing) of God and learn about Jesus Christ through the reading of the Scripture in the common faith of brothers and sisters. Those who are spiritually seeking are also most welcome! It's gonna be a great time together of deep questioning, transformation and healing. Contact for those interested: otispink@hotmail.com  | | Davey Watkins |
Doug will be preaching at Mt. Zion Baptist Church for the 22nd anniversary of the Pastor, Dr. Johnnie Skinner, on June 23rd at 10:30am.
The church is located at 2714 Brooks Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37914. Dr. Skinner invites All Souls to come and worship and celebrate with Mt. Zion on the 23rd. Mount Zion is Knoxville's oldest African-American church, and has been open since 1860. Dr. Skinner came with an inward drive to promote the qualities of self-esteem, self-worth, pride, and love for the black family. Among the many programs and activities he has promoted are the Male Mentorship Program for young African-American males; the ordination and installation of the first African-American female Associate Minister of Mount Zion; and all African American Sunday, when all African-Americans are given an opportunity to rekindle their African heritage by coming to worship service in ethnic, African clothing, and church retreats.
Mary Baldridge will be offering a course which will examine both pilgrimage and mysticism and will take the participant on a mystical and physical pilgrimage - body, soul, and spirit - toward a closer connection with God, through reading, walking, prayer and contemplation.
The pilgrimage component will consist of a virtual pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. Participants will be encouraged to walk daily (and intentionally) and to complete certain virtual "stages" of the Camino de Santiago by achieving certain distance goals. By the end of the course, participants who have stayed on target will receive a virtual "Compostela" (certificate acknowledging that they have completed their virtual Camino). However, the journey does not stop with the physical because pilgrimage is not primarily a physical journey. The pilgrim/mystic will also learn about mysticism, from its origins and history in Christianity to the methods that have been used by mystics to open themselves to connection with God. The ultimate goal will be for participants to take a contemplative pilgrimage, through prayer and meditation, toward a closer connection with God and with the Holy Spirit that resides in him/her as a Christian. Those who are interested should contact Mary at:
mbaldridge@cn.edu. Dates: every Thursday night, July 11-August 15, 6:30-8:00 p.m. Location: 4 Market Square on the 3rd floor (Room is to be Determined) Mary Baldridge Chair of Philosophy, Linguistics, and World Languages

Diapers Needed for the family of the young woman who was shot in Mechanicsville
The young mother, Uniqua Brown, who was shot in Mechanicsville this past week was a member of Overcoming Believer's Church who meets in the Old City. She left behind four little ones, and their grandmother could really use some help during this difficult time. The church's pastor, Daryl Arnold, hopes to "flood the alter with diapers" this Sunday, but they will take donations past then as the need will be ongoing.
Here is a note from their church:
The babies are 4yrs (girl). 2 yrs (boy). And the twins (girls) are 7 days old. If possible please don't only get newborn things for the twins because they will grow very fast. The 2yrs old is in pull ups and very CHUNKY (LOL) size 4. Anything will help this grandmother.
Our H.E.L.P.S committee at church is spearheading this on behalf of Uniqua Brown's Family.
Mother Ann Upton is over the H.E.L.P.S and collecting for the family.
Because we are in a Multi-Church Facility that has a Daycare Center everything is being taken to the House of Mother Ann to avoid any confusion and she is delivering. There is a Box outside of her home to drop things in.
Her address is:
2401 Brooks Ave
Knoxville, TN 37914
Or her number is 865-207-5697 and she will be glad pick it up herself.
If you want to bring them to me (Bryden Banister) I can also get them to my coworker who attends their church. My email is brydenbanister@gmail.com Thank you for your help!
