I was greatly encouraged by your part in the article in The Oklahoman this week.
The 50 Days of Kindness theme is good stuff.
Thanks for the refresher during this tense political season.
Sincerely
Pastor Scott Hamilton

Oklahoma consistently ranks among the highest in the nation for rates of domestic violence and for the number of women killed by men in single-victim, single-offender incidents. This is not someone else’s problem — it’s ours to confront, together. At Acts 2, we believe the church must be part of the solution. That’s why we’re hosting The Hidden Crisis: A Community Conversation about Domestic Violence — a night of honest dialogue, powerful testimony, and shared commitment to healing.
