The faith-based race-reconciliation initiative and nationally recognized Worship on the Water is set to take place virtually at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30, and will be dedicated in honor of fallen Greenville police officer Myiesha Stewart. The goal of this initiative, according to Mayor Errick Simmons, is to foster unity and promote racial harmony regardless of religious affiliation and racial identity.
On the fifth Sunday of every month, Mayor Simmons hosts an interfaith, interracial faith service. Services will be held via the City of Greenville’s Facebook page.
The speaker for this event will be Pastor Steven Cantu of Grace Fellowship Church. The Greenville High School Choir will perform a musical selection.
“This faith-based racial reconciliation initiative is purposed on bringing people together regardless of racial identity or religious affiliation. Psalm 100 demands us to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. On the fifth Sunday of every month, we are asking the residents and citizens to come worship and make a joyful noise together in corporate worship,” Simmons said.
The city is asking the community to join via Facebook LIVE to worship together this Sunday.
