CHRISTIAN ACTIVIST GROUP TO MEET

The Craven-Pamlico Christian Coalition to meet in New Bern

The Craven-Pamlico Christian Coalition will hold its next regular monthly meeting on Monday, February 21st, at the Golden Corral in New Bern. All interested citizens are welcome and encouraged to attend. Optional dinner is at 6:00pm with the meeting beginning promptly at 7:00pm. Dinner is encouraged to foster informal discussions and fellowship.

Guest speaker for February is Rev. Mark Creech, Executive Director of the Christian Action League in Raleigh. He will discuss the history of CAL, its current issues and how the 2 groups can work together.

Organized in 1994 as the Craven Christian Coalition, the group broadened its reach a few years later and was renamed the Craven-Pamlico Christian Coalition. Its founding Chairman was Rev. Walter Leake, assisted by his wife, Carol. While they remain active, they requested that others step up to leadership roles.

Currently in the process of reorganizing and re-energizing, CPCC is co-chaired by Paul Dernier of New Bern and Jerry Schill of Cove City. Pat O’Connell of New Bern is Vice-Chairman and Frank Owen of Grantsboro is Secretary.

In addition to listening to the message of Rev. Creech, the group will discuss other organizational issues as they pertain to the future of the group.
