We are truly grateful for another incredible and successful Cultural Awareness Weekend led by Robin and Keith Bradley.
On Saturday, the festivities began with the African Marketplace, dedicated to celebrating cooperative economics, Ujamaa.
On Sunday, the Little Rock Men’s Choir uplifted our heritage through the power of song and worship. From the soulful sounds of spirituals to the uplifting anthems of freedom and faith, these songs reminded us of our history of resilience, hope, and strength.
Rev. Dr. Derrill A. Blue, Pastor, delivered a powerful and inspiring sermon titled “God Is”, rooted in Psalms 23.
We extend our special appreciation to our Saturday and Sunday marketplace vendors. Their participation greatly contributed to making the weekend a remarkable and enriching celebration.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to all our visitors and to those who made the life-changing decision to join our church family. Welcome home!
We were privileged to have esteemed guests join us, including:
- Yvette Townsend, Mecklenburg County Commissioner At Large
- Willie Flemings, Founder and President of the International Minority Coalition
- Tina Kurniawan, Treasurer and Senior Executive Board Member of the International Minority Coalition
- Delores Sobowale, Chief Executive Officer of Mecklenburg International Fashion Week and Commissioner At Large for Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation
- Lynn Mintzer, Founder and President of Voices From the Past and a member of the Mecklenburg County History Society
We are blessed by the leadership of Rev. Dr. Derrill A. Blue and Reverend Paula B. Blue. We will continue to celebrate our faith, culture, and community together.
