Kwanzaa begins

Reflection

“Kwanzaa is a special time to remember the ancestors, the bridge builders, and the leaders.”
–Dorothy Winbush Riley

Prayer

God in all,

Kwanzaa presents us with a special opportunity to honor African-American culture and history and to celebrate the values that bind communities together. We always have cause to give thanks for the riches of our diversity, but at this time of the year especially, make us all the more eager to respect and learn from each other in a spirit of humility. In that spirit we pray, for healing and remembrance, for connection and growth, and for a hope to inspire us all. Amen.
