Metanoia is celebrating a significant milestone for the organization as it reaches the 20-year mark since incorporation. To celebrate two decades of working with the community to create opportunities in areas of education, housing and economic development, Metanoia is hosting two events for the community to come together and celebrate a collective vision of living “in a community where hearts are open to all that is possible and achievable.”
On September 22nd, Metanoia is hosting a Jubilee Luncheon with a keynote address from author and MacArthur Genius Award winning Urban Revitalization Specialist Majora Carter followed by a conversation with community members working to make their community better. Carter will draw from her experience and share how to improve the quality of life and preserve local communities with thoughtful and sustainable community revitalization. Nearly 30 sponsors have come together to support this celebration. The luncheon is a conversation worth joining and Metanoia invites all to come together with our hearts open to all that is possible and achievable.
The celebration will continue with a community block party on October 21st in which Metanoia will partner with Clemson's “Master of Resilient Urban Design” Program and others to combine a fun block party with a community listening process.
“We work hard to create opportunities each day and all of a sudden it adds up to 20 years,” said Rev. Bill Stanfield. “These events are a chance to celebrate community partners, team members, supporters and everyone else that is so important to the Metanoia family.”
The Jubilee Luncheon is Friday, September 22nd at the Royal Baptist Family Life and Banquet Center located at 4750 Abraham Ave, North Charleston. Doors will open for registration at 11 am and the program will begin at 11:30 am.
The Block Party will be on October 21st and further details will be released closer to the event.
