Prayer List

Black History Month is an observance of the history of the African diaspora in a number of countries outside of Africa. Since 1976, it is observed annually in the United States and Canada in February, while in the United Kingdom it is observed in October. In the U.S., Black History Month is also referred to as African-American History Month. Black History Month was begun as Negro History Week by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926.

We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.

- Dr. Carter G. Woodson on the founding Negro History Week, 1926

Transformation Church (TC) “Town Hall” Meetings

The Church Council has approved the TC Report and Action Plans prepared by Ted Johnston.  The report and plans must now be presented to the entire congregation for discussion, acceptance and participation. This will be done through a series of “town hall” meetings held on Sunday’s following services.  The time for each meeting will be 2:15 pm until 3:30 pm.  You are on your own for lunch.  The meetings are scheduled as follows:

Sunday, January 22^nd – TC Report

Sunday, January 29^th – Action Plans

Sunday, February 5^th – Discussion and Questions

The plans will then be implemented over the next several months.  Every member of CRF is invited and encouraged to attend these meetings.  If you have questions please see Pastor Joel.  In case of inclement weather the meetings will be rescheduled accordingly.
