No matter what happens outside the Bethlehem Center, there is peace inside, said Elizabeth Tallman, director of development.
She said that’s because the center’s grounds have been sanctified through prayer and she wants that same protection for the entire Alton Park area.
On Saturday, the Bethlehem Center will have its second annual Walk of Blessings. More than 200 people are expected to participate in a 5k walk-run around the community. Representatives from 20 churches from Tennessee and North Georgia are included.
The goal of the walk is wholeness and peace in the community, said Bethlehem Center Executive Director Lurone “Coach” Jennings.
