RUMFORD — Pastor Justin Thacker of Praise Assembly of God will hold a Community Forum from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 26, in Rumford Falls Auditorium.
The theme is Desperation, Rumford selectmen Chairman Greg Buccina said at the board’s June 19 meeting.
Thacker “is looking to make the River Valley a better place to live,” he said. He “will be talking about how people become desperate.”
Based on his experiences, Thacker will also share advice to try and alleviate desperation.
Buccina said Thacker initially wanted to discuss the matter at a selectmen meeting and asked to be placed on a meeting agenda. But it was determined that a community forum would better serve his purpose, he said.
Buccina urged the public and town officials to attend the free meeting and said Thacker will try to answer questions and concerns people have about unity, hope and self-worth.
“It should be a pretty productive meeting,” Buccina said. “Let’s see how we can better ourselves as a people, which, hopefully, will better our community.”
