About the Theme:

During Black History Month, what we learn from scripture and the lives of the Black Saints is relevant for us today as we all journey in faith as disciples of Jesus. God is stretching out in us to clean out our house and kick the devil out. God is stretching out in me and you to renew our life and our world.
