Facilitator
Michael E Flowers
Michael grew up in the church family that is now at Genessee Avenue. His parents came to the Mount Vernon Avenue congregation in 1955. He was baptized in 1966. He and his family have been with us through the transition to Cleveland Avenue, and now, he and his wife Jackie, who was baptized in 1984, are the parents of two adult children who represent the next generation of the Flowers family at Genessee Avenue.
Michael is a corporate lawyer, and Jackie is a registered dietitian. They enjoy supporting many activities of their children. Michael is an avid participant in high impact aerobics while Jackie is a regular participant in water aerobics. His area of responsibility is Benevolence. Jackie is also actively involved in our College Campus Ministry.
The Benevolence Ministry provides help to members and others as needs arise.
The goal of this ministry is to provide "Help That Helps". To do this, each situation is examined, and an appropriate plan of action is developed. A person in need may be given contact information to community support establishments that already exist, training and education in needed topics, and in rare cases, actual funding for emergency situations. The work of the Benevolence Ministry also extends to providing oversight and support for our Homeless Ministry.

Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share.
