To Our Beloved Church Family,
As we enter this sacred month of February, we honor Black History Month, a time of reflection, celebration, and continued commitment to justice and equality. We give thanks for the faith, strength, and resilience of those who came before us—heroes of the faith and the fight for freedom. Their sacrifices and triumphs remind us of God’s justice and the call to love one another as Christ loves us.
Yet, we recognize that the journey is not over. The struggle for dignity, equality, and peace continues for people of color across the world. As a church, let us stand together in prayer and action, lifting each other up, championing righteousness, and being a beacon of hope in our communities. “Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24).
And as we also celebrate Valentine’s Day, may we remember the greatest love of all—the love of Christ. Let His love inspire us to love one another more deeply, to serve with compassion, and to build a world that reflects His grace and mercy.
