Help raise awareness for Sickle cell disease. This is a 30 day social media awareness campaign to get people talking and sharing information about sickle cell disease. Simply put your boldest lipstick on,take a photo, and post it on social media - either Facebook, instagram, youtube, twitter..
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to become "sickle" shaped, making it harder to flow through blood vessels. This keeps red blood cells and the oxygen they carry getting to all parts of the body. Blocked blood flow can cause severe pain and organ damage. Complications can range from mild fatigue to more severe symptoms such as stokes, heart attacks, infections, and pain crises.

St. Johns First Missionary Baptist invite you to join them in one of the many "Give Me Liberty" tours scheduled throughout the state. You will hear notable pastors, representatives and political leaders speak to us about the state of the nation, biblical foundations for government, real solutions for the dilemma we are in and our call to engage. This reoccurring assessment from Judges is certainly applicable today as we watch the culture grow increasingly hostile to the traditional teachings of biblical Christianity.
Have we departed from the rule and reign of the True King, and do we insist on doing what is right in our own eyes? This is not only apparent in our churches, but also our families and particularly our government. If one state will be bold enough to stand on the Constitution and biblical principles, we believe that others will follow. We must reestablish a culture based on state sovereignty as defined in the Constitution and stop recognizing Washington's unconstitutional abuse of power. The national government has no constitutional authority to murder the unborn, contradict God's natural law on marriage, impose Obama Care, demean and attack our Christian faith, transform us into a socialist state, or control our educational institutions. Speakers for this event: Janet Porter, John Stemberger and Dexter Sanders.
