Gaines Chapel AME Church Food Pantry flood update

By Rick Martin

Gaines Chapel AME Church, which is home to one of Churches United's food pantries in East Moline, is totally flooded with flood and sewer waters. Although the church sanctuary is still functional, the entire downstairs, which includes the fellowship hall and common areas, has been flooded. This common area is also where the food pantry is located and has been functioning as a food pantry for over 20 years! After the waters recede, the pantry will be in need of individuals to help clean up and in need of resources to replace refrigerators, freezers, etc. There isn't any timetable set up as of yet. For those who use the food pantry, Christ United Methodist Church will be taking all of Gaines' clients. Please keep the pantry, its volunteers and the people who must utilize another food pantry while this is closed in your prayers. Thank you from Churches United of the Quad City Area.

By Tony Sconyers

A local Quad Cities choir, The Good News Singers Chorale, will be appearing in Chicago's annual Juneteenth Parade and Celebration on Saturday, June 21, 2008. In addition to being in the parade, The Good News Singers Chorale will perform a selection of Negro spirituals at the lakefront celebration following the parade. The Chorale was requested to appear at the event based on previous programs that it has presented that focused on Negro spirituals. Juneteenth was established in Texas following word of freeing the slaves as a result of the Civil War during the 1860's. The parade in Chicago on June 21^st will be on Chicago's South Side, starting on 79^th and Stony Island, proceeding east on 79^th Street to Lake Michigan. The parade will commence at 10:00 am and conclude at noon. Celebration will be held on the lakefront immediately following the parade. The program has traditionally drawn numerous local and national dignitaries, including current presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). The Good News Singers Chorale will also perform a selection of Negro spirituals at the local Quad Cities Juneteenth Celebration, to be held on Thursday, June 19, 2008 at 10^th and Gaines in Davenport. The Good News Singers Chorale is a community choir that has been in existence for twenty-five years. Its primary mission has been giving concerts at a number of senior citizen facilities several times a year. The members of the chorale are from various churches throughout the Quad Cities. In addition to Negro spirituals, the songs that the Chorale performs focus on faith, love of one's neighbors, and love of country. The Chorale has also performed at The Mark (I wireless Center), The Col Ballroom, The Rock Island Arsenal, Festival of Trees, Quad City Arts in Rock Island, Miss Iowa Pageant, and other venues in the Quad Cities and the surrounding area.

GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE RUNNING IN THE 17^TH CONGRESSIONAL

Quad Cities - The Illinois Green Party has another congressional candidate, and his name is Troy Dennis. Mr. Dennis is a resident of Mount Zion, IL where he has worked as a restaurateur and small business owner in logistics.

Mr. Dennis is the only opponent against incumbent Phil Hare. Mr. Dennis is an informed citizen who is tired of the whole system. I am tired of the pandering, lip service, corruption, disregard for the constitution, and the destruction of ideals. Mr. Dennis has a website, which is www.troydennis2008.com. Mr. Dennis is also not taking PACs, lobby money, or corporate contributions.
