Dear TORCH Youth, Parents, Guardians, and Families,
Grace and peace to you,
On behalf of Shalom Church of God in Christ, I would like to personally extend a special invitation to you and your family to join us for our upcoming Family & Friends Day Service.
As many of you know, we have had the privilege of connecting with so many wonderful young people through our TORCH Enrichment Programs. We are thankful for every conversation, every open gym session, every real talk moment, and every opportunity to encourage and support our youth.
This gathering is different from our regular monthly enrichment program. This is a special worship service and community celebration where we are inviting not only our youth, but also parents, guardians, grandparents, family members, and friends to come together with us.
Family & Friends Day

This day will be filled with encouragement, fellowship, worship, prayer, and a positive atmosphere for the entire family. Our desire is simply to open our doors and let our community know that you are always welcome at Shalom.
We believe strong families build strong communities, and we would be honored to have you worship with us.
Thank you for allowing us to serve and connect with your youth through TORCH Conference and our enrichment efforts throughout the community. We look forward to seeing you and your family with us on this special day.
Respectfully,
Pastor Paul Ringold
