PROJECT “E” is an awareness initiative that brings light to mental health from a broader view. We often associate mental health with symptoms we can physically see, however many individuals experience serious symptoms that are not easily recognized. Our mental health can be affected by many things such as peer pressure, loneliness, loss of a job, loss of a loved one, a change in our physical health, or a chemical imbalance to name a few.
PROJECT “E” will bring awareness through community events centered around social connectedness, education, love, holistic support and resources.
WHY SKATE GALAXY
Skate Galaxy is the place our beloved Bro. ERIC Murphy, Jr. loved, worked, and outwardly expressed his joy with friends and family. What better way to kick off this initiative in “E” style. Skates and Smiles!
PROJECT “E” is for “E”veryone!

Dear Pastor Thomas,
I want to thank you and my Greater New Guide Baptist Church for your prayers, cards, calls, and well wishes during the loss of my brother, Donald Davenport. We are managing well and time heals all things. Joshua 1:9 tells us, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord, your God will be with you wherever you go.” We know he is with us. Praise God.
Yours in Christ,
Regina Toliver
