Faith leaders outline 'We Care' parade to raise child‑abuse awareness
Summary
Bishop Blake of Harvest Family Life Ministries described the We Care parade and panel aimed at raising awareness about child abuse; he cited regional CPS figures and said the event will be a public proclamation of community support for vulnerable children and families.
Bishop Blake of Harvest Family Life Ministries asked the Glenn Heights City Council to support a 'We Care' parade on April 25 intended to raise awareness of child abuse and promote community resources.
Blake presented regional child-protective-services statistics and explained that the parade and follow-up panel will be celebratory and informational rather than adversarial. "We're going to publicly proclaim that this city... we care," he said, and asked the city to help promote the event and host a short proclamation at the parade’s start.
Mayor Brown told attendees the city will read a formal proclamation at the event and will post a short video on the city's website. The council welcomed the partnership and agreed to promote the parade; the mayor encouraged residents to attend the parade and the panel discussion at Freedom Church.
Next step: the city will publish parade details and the proclamation on its website and continue outreach with Harvest Family Life Ministries and Freedom Church.
