On Tuesday, March 25th, the Kennedy Home campus hosted more than one hundred representatives from Departments of Social Services, Juvenile Justice agencies, and other child caring organizations for a Gang Symposium. Danya Perry, Field Services Specialist with NC Communities in Schools (also the son of Sandy Perry) led the workshop. The sessions included “Introduction to Gangs,” "Identifying Gangs," “Recognizing Gang Influences,” and "Gang Prevention and Intervention.” It was a very successful day, not only in training and working together with other agencies to help our youth, but a networking day with other agencies.

Pilot Baptist Church from Zebulon spent a weekend on our campus working, feeding, and leading in worship. Pilot Baptist Church has come to Kennedy Home for a weekend in March for the past three years. They come in on Friday evening, provide manual labor on Saturday morning helping with several needed projects, provide a campus-wide cookout, and lead in Sunday morning worship. The Sunday morning worship included a worship band, skits, and one of the church’s youth brought the morning message. The morning worship ended with several coming to the altar for prayer. God used the church’s ministry to move the children to reach out to Christ for help in their situations.
