Wearing Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
Today, we wear pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness—to stand in solidarity with those affected by this disease, to honor our survivors, to remember those we have lost, and to encourage early detection.
If you are a breast cancer survivor, we would love to hear from you! Please contact the Health Care Ministry Chairs: Tracey Pickney 225-281-5984 or Chi Franklin 225-205-9510.
Following today’s service, a Breast Cancer Awareness backdrop will be available in the Activity Center for those who would like to take a picture in their pink, showing their support.
