CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH We celebrate Black History Month in recognizing and honoring all the friends we have made over the years as we continue to share our God’s Love! We all know that the world the Lord has created for us would be a better place if we just loved and respected each other. The contributions and sacrifices the black community have made are significant, impactful and are part of why we have some of great relationships we have in our community today. We pray we do it justice and that we can work together for God’s kingdom. “History has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” Michelle Obama
