I want to thank Pastor Hickman and the Southern Baptist Church family, as well as Kevin Hickman, the Woda Group, and everyone associated with this project for their commitment to rebuilding our city—#OneBaltimore.

On her Facebook page, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake thanked pastors and others from the faith community for their help in the healing of the city. The mayor's post is below.
The past week has showcased Baltimore's resilience.
