Ecumenical Thanksgiving Celebration Nov. 19
For the past 15 years, people from dozens of faiths have gathered at Temple Kol Emeth in Marietta to celebrate Thanksgiving by sharing uplifting messages, singing and laughing together, and supporting interfaith charities. In 2020, this unifying event will be online and include an online chat to share your feelings and thoughts. This year’s theme, “Act Now: Silence Is Not An Option,” is the inspiration for messages from various religious and community leaders about speaking up for compassion and humanity, a common value of people of all faiths. The event will spotlight The National Civil Rights Museum, which will be the recipient of donations to the Ecumenical Thanksgiving Give-A-Gobble program. Thursday, Nov. 19, for this one-of-a-kind 16th annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Celebration organized by twenty faith-based groups in the Cobb, Fulton, and Cherokee counties—because people of faith need to stand together and serve others now more than ever. Online at 6:30 p.m. for musical performances, program begins at 7. Visit the Facebook page for the live link here. Donations for the Give-a-Gobble program to benefit The National Civil Rights Museum can be made by clicking www.kolemeth.net/gobble

Medicaid Re-enrollment
If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you.
-
- Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage.
-
- During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone.
-
- Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage.
-
- Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location
-
- For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
