YOU ARE INVITED!!
The Southern Tier Interfaith Coalition would like to invite you to our annual meeting Sunday, November 22, 2026 at 2:00 at the Neighborhood Transformation Center in Elmira (409 William Street, Elmira, NY 14901).
My name is Min. Becca Forsyth of the Freedom Church of the Poor. My co-president, Pastor Connie Seifert and I would like to introduce our organization and ask you to invite your friends and family, community and/or congregation to attend our annual meeting. It is a great opportunity to break bread with our neighbors, meet people who are making a difference in our community, and learn about each other’s faith.
Founded in 1995, the Southern Tier Interfaith Coalition (STIC) was established with the determination that all faiths could work together for the common goals of justice, compassion, appreciation, love, stewardship and service. We encourage you and your community to take this opportunity to come out and meet us and consider joining our coalition.

At this gathering, we will have a meal together, we will hear from some community leaders who are helping the impacted and poor in our neighborhood, we will hold an interfaith blessing of thanksgiving, and we will elect our body of leaders for the upcoming year. It’s a great chance to jump on board with us and work towards harmony and unity.
We hope you will take this time to invite your friends and family and join us to learn more about STIC and what we do. Thank you for your time.
