It was all about fun, games, and safety at the 2nd annual Norlina Community Day!
Several members of law enforcement, the fire department, and Warren County departments came out early Saturday morning (Sept. 14) to both entertainment and inform local residents. Attendees had the opportunity to sign up for upcoming Parks and Recreation activities, sit in the driver’s seat of a fire truck, fitted and gifted a bike helmet, register to win a bicycle, and sing and dance along to music curated by local radio personality and DJ Willie C.

Perfecting Praise Receives Partnership in Public Health Award
Perfecting Praise Ministries was the recipient of the prestigious Partnership in Public Health Award

Nominated by the Warren County Health Department, Perfecting Praise Ministries was the recipient of the prestigious Partnership in Public Health Award, presented at the North Carolina Public Health Association (NCPHA) Fall Education Conference held in Cherokee, NC in September. This recognition highlights the ongoing collaboration between the ministry and the health department in their efforts to promote health and wellness within the community.
Bishop J. Terrell Alston and Perfecting Praise Ministries has been an active partner in numerous public health initiatives aimed at addressing critical health concerns. Some of their notable collaborations include hosting a drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic, an HIV/AIDS Awareness event, and a town hall meeting titled “Coping Mentally and Spiritually,” which was hosted by the NAACP. In addition, the ministry organized a Mental Health Forum that focused on faith-based communities, bridging the gap between spiritual and mental health support.
This award acknowledges the significant impact that partnerships like these can have on improving public health outcomes, particularly in rural communities such as Warren County. By combining spiritual guidance with health education and resources, Perfecting Praise Ministries has played a vital role in addressing both the physical and mental well-being of the community.
Alston also serves as Director of Community Engagement & Empowerment at Trillium Health Resources.
The North Carolina Public Health Association is the leading professional association for people dedicated to promoting and protecting the health and environment of all North Carolinians. The Guiding Principles of the North Carolina Public Health Association are: integrity, dignity and respect, pride and commitment, inclusion and education for individuals and communities.
