All about Sojourn New Albany's Empowerment Seminar, coming on Saturday, March 19.

I'm tempted to be mischievous and comment that church services are always free (notwithstanding the collection plate, which after all is somewhat optional), but I won't.

Sojourn's Jonah Sage alerted me to this seminar, which strikes me as ideal neighborhood outreach. It includes advice on renter's rights, resume and interviews, scholarships and financial aid, and emergency preparedness.
