Black History Month

Reflection

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” ~ Harriet Tubman

Prayer

Merciful God, today, we begin our celebration of Black History Month. May our celebration remind us of the dignity and equality of all your children and our call to promote the freedom and worth of all. Send your Holy Spirit upon us that we might make racial justice a reality in our time. Renew our commitment to build a world in which difference is celebrated, tolerance and inclusion are daily embodied, past sins are acknowledged, current challenges are confronted, and love binds us together as one human family. In humility, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Make a commitment to do something each day in honor of Black History Month. And identify one action I can take or commitment I can make to work for racial justice throughout the year.
