This is bigger than one click.

Today, ComebackTown published an op-ed from GBHS CEO Allison Black Cornelius about what is happening in Oxmoor Valley and why the June 9th Birmingham City Council meeting matters.

GBHS is building a future campus where broken and abandoned animals will finally have a place to heal. Across the way, a foreign-owned company is already building a hyperscale AI factory that will run around the clock.

But June 9th is about more than one project.

City Council may vote on rules that could remove the public hearing process for future projects like this. That means fewer opportunities for neighbors to ask questions, raise concerns, and be heard before decisions are made.

Today, it is Oxmoor. Tomorrow, it could be your neighborhood.

Please read and share Allison’s op-ed. Then make plans to be in the room.

Birmingham City Council Meeting
TUESDAY, June 9
9:00 a.m.
Birmingham City Hall

You do not have to speak. You just have to be seen.

Welcome Dustin Ratcliff to the Bluff Park Churches family.

Shades Crest Baptist Church

Last Sunday was a festive and significant day in the life of Shades Crest as we had the privilege of welcoming Dustin Ratcliff, who came to preach in view of a call.
Throughout the morning, our church family was encouraged by the spirit of worship, fellowship, and anticipation as we met Dustin, his wife Tara, and their two children.

Following the service, the church voted to call Dustin as the new pastor of Shades Crest. We rejoice in the Lord’s leadership throughout this process and look forward with excitement and hope to this new chapter in the life of our church.

Please continue to pray for the Ratcliff family as they prepare for this transition, and pray also for our church as we move forward together in faithfulness to the Lord’s calling.
