St James Worship 02 23 2025

In this service commemorating the last Sunday in Black History Month, we emphasize the importance of love and forgiveness in dismantling the enemy's powers, drawing on historical examples such as the civil rights movement and the teachings of Jesus. We also discussed the legacy of love and justice in overcoming oppression and the need to continue this legacy by educating future generations. We send one another out urging the all to stand up against hate and to love their enemies, not allowing them to control their emotions, energy, and actions.
