Grace HouseBIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Grace House Women’s Auxiliary is preparing to host a 90th birthday celebration in honor of Lois Coleman, founder of Grace House Ministries, on Saturday, November 16th at Sixth Avenue Baptist Church at 3 p.m.
“I can’t think of anyone more worthy of such a huge celebration,” said Erin Bentley, Volunteer Coordinator at Grace House.
During the 1970s, Ms. Coleman, lovingly referred to as “Mama Lois,” opened her home to at-risk children where she stood in as a mom for 15 young girls before founding Grace House in 1989. Since then, Mama Lois and her staff have worked tirelessly to provide homes for girls who come from crisis backgrounds. Today, at the age of 90, Mama Lois continues to be an active part in the ministry.
“Mama Lois has been such an inspiration and such a blessing to everyone she meets,” said Brianna Weekley, Development Coordinator at Grace House. “You can’t fathom how much she has done for the girls who have stepped foot in these doors, and its so good to be able to do something special for her.”
The event will feature a concert celebration lead by world-renowned musician Dr. Daniel Cason as well as performances by Mistress of Ceremonies Alonza Jones, The Birmingham Community Mass Choir, The Briarwood Ballet, The Magic City Brass Works Quintet and many other special guests.
A reception will follow the concert celebration. Everyone is encouraged to attend, but seating is limited. Send in your RSVP by email at 90bday@grace-house.org.
Sixth Avenue Baptist Church is located at 1101 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW, Birmingham, Alabama 35211.
