After last year’s postponement, the Friends of Children’s Hospital are excited to announce the 5th Annual Over the Edge with Friends Fundraiser. Over the Edge is an event unlike any other! Thrill-seekers from all over will make their way to Jackson to rappel down the side of a 5-story building in an effort to raise much-needed funds to support the sick and injured children of Batson Children’s Hospital and Children’s of Mississippi. Their team is hard at work crafting a fun community event that meets all CDC guidelines. So you can cheer on these amazing volunteers in total safety, or maybe you want to take a step on the wild side.

There are still a few spaces left to sign up to be one of this year’s edgers. For details on how to become an edger, head to their website. Over the Edge will also have a children’s area, a rock wall, live music, and so much more! We know it’s going to be an event you won’t want to miss! So mark your calendar for April 17th, and we’ll see if you at the District at Eastover for the 5th Annual Over the Edge with Friends Fundraiser.

Unfailing Love

"Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly! And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us!"
Romans 5:8-9 (TPT)

Easter is almost here and we can’t help but reflect on the love God has so lavishly poured out on us. Through some big ups and some major downs, God has remained faithful. In the last year, we’ve seen God move through our amazing community whether it was through buying boxed lunches for first responders or crowdfunding to keep our local business open. We’ve seen loved ones pull through disease and viruses, but we’ve also seen how willing we all are to rally behind families who have lost loved ones. It’s in these times, we want to take a moment to boast of God’s unfailing love and how it works through this incredible community.
It is this divine love that allows us to move with every bend and curve of life, and it’s this same, divine love that remains at the core of who we are. Our desire is to be light in the darkness and inspire each of you to take that extra step forward during these unprecedented times. This Easter we pray you get to spend time surrounded by loved ones, reflect on Jesus’s sacrifice, and remember to take it to the cross whenever trials come. Happy Easter, Inspiration family. We are so unbelievably grateful for y’all!

They are dedicating this whole week to raising money for Avery Douglass, a Senior at MSU who was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

In the face of cancer and treatment, she has smiled, laughed, and leaned into her incredible family and community.
