A Word From Rev Gordon
February 2024 Beloved Community, As we enter the second month of the year, known as Black History month in the United States, a shout-out to Carter G. Woodson. Woodson’s devotion to showcasing the contributions of Black Americans bore fruit in 1926 when he launched Negro History Week in the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. 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 […]

I wish you all a happy New Year with lots of health, peace and love. These are the sentiments I was holding onto as the New Year opened. These are the thoughts I still have […]
Support Our Unhoused Community Members

Someone is being born, someone is transitioning from this earth, Holidays happen, birthdays come and go, so everyday is special to someone. Sadly, not everyone has the privilege to enjoy the special times due to circumstance, sometimes beyond their control. In my joy and abundance, I want to share with others who, for one reason or another, are in need. So what is this about? This is about me learning about a critical shortage of men’s clothing that the […]
