On Thursday, February 12, Mayor Lester Miller hosted the first Council of Clergy Luncheon of the year Middle Georgia State University. He updated the clergy on the efforts of Macon-Bibb County and what is to come.

“Hosting our first Council of Clergy Luncheon of the year is an opportunity to listen, connect, and recommit to working side by side,” said Mayor Miller. “Our clergy play a vital role in meeting people where they are, and these conversations help us align our efforts to make a real difference across Macon-Bibb County.”
