Coach Ted Ginn, Sr. Talks at St. John of the Cross Parish
February 23, 2020
St. John of the Cross to host Coach Ted Ginn, Sr.
for conversation about faith, friendship
EUCLID, Ohio – February 23, 2020 – One of the area’s most successful high school football coaches is coming to St. John of the Cross Parish for a conversation about faith and friendship – and perhaps a little bit about football. Coach Ted Ginn, Sr. will share powerful and practical lessons on building relationships between cultures, within diverse communities, and how to be servant leaders.
The free event will be at 3 p.m. Sunday, February 23, in the Church, 140 Richmond Rd., Euclid.
Coach Ginn is the founder and executive director of The Ginn Academy, as well as head football coach and head track coach of Glenville High School. He is also a member, deacon and trustee of The Historic Greater Friendship Baptist Church in the Glenville community.
He will be joined in conversation by St. John of the Cross parishioner Matt Chinchar, who is an assistant football coach at Glenville and the college advisor at The Ginn Academy. The two will discuss their diverse backgrounds and friendship, built over 30 years of work on and off the football field, and their shared desire to save lives and souls, to help build strong young men physically, emotionally, academically and spiritually.
This is an event where the journey of friendship is intended to spark a connection for all people of faith, regardless of denomination, race, creed or socioeconomic background. There are so many things that divide us but we are more alike than we are different and we are stronger together than we are apart. With candid dialogue, these men of faith will explore how all people can build bridges one step at a time.
