A Word from Rev Gordon …

March 2024 “Transformation isn’t about adding more work to your life; it’s about shifting your perspective so life becomes more fun, magical, and joyful.” -Sheri Salata The quote above helps me in so many ways.  This month at SepulvedaUU, we will be exploring Love as Transformation. Well, what exactly is that?

Woodson’s concept was later expanded into Black History Month. So, during this month I will share as much as I can of Blackness from an American in the United States, and from a global perspective. How […]
