On July 19th 2017, the City Council of Jersey City approved the first step towards building the St. George and St. Shenouda Community Center on Sip Ave. Thank God for His love that He allowed everything to go very smoothly without issue thus far. May He continue His work always. Also, thank you to all who emailed the city klonopin clonazepam medication Council members. Your voice and efforts were noticed and had a great impact. May God bless you all. Please continue to pray for the project as we continue to move forward with the next step and for God to continually give us guidance. –Church Board

SUBJECT: Regarding City Ordinance 17-086 Dear Councilmen and Councilwomen, My name is [MyName] of [MyAddress] and I have called Jersey City home for the past [#OfYears] years. I am currently a parishioner of Saint George and Saint Shenuda Coptic Orthodox Church, located at 835 Bergen Avenue, and as a parishioner of the Church I have witnessed first hand the positive effects the Church has had on our local community. Over the past 43 years, there has been a significant growth in our community, and we are desperately in need of a new center to accommodate the needs of our growing community. This is why I am asking you to vote in favor of the proposed City Ordinance 17-086, which will vacate a portion of Freeman Avenue and Field Avenue. This proposed ordinance will allow the community to redevelop a section of Ward B and will expand the Church’s services in the area as well as benefit the Jersey City community as a whole. I would like to thank you for all the hard work that you do to benefit our ward and Jersey City as a whole. Thank you, [MyName] Non Residents
