In June, the Jubilee Churches welcomed a new church to Jubilee Churches—Gloucester Point Baptist Church.

The Rev. Dr. Ed Walker, pastor of Bellamy United Methodist Church, is the covener of the Jubilee Churches of Gloucester.

In July, Jubilee Churches provided rent assistance to help prevent eviction for a family of four — a husband, wife, and their two young children, one of whom has special needs. In May, the husband was unexpectedly let go from his job. He acted quickly to secure new full-time employment, and the family worked diligently to catch up on their bills on their own. Despite their best efforts, the financial strain from the sudden loss of income in May and June made it difficult to fully recover. Our support of $558 toward their rent helped stabilize their housing and gave them a fresh start heading into August.

In July Jubilee Churches provided support to 3 households $971 - assistance was provided for rent and Dominion power assistance.
