Black History Month Begins with Powerful Weekend Programs

Canadian University College's celebration of Black History Month began with a weekend full of inspiring worship services January 30-31.  The guest speaker for the weekend was Jason O'Rourke, a chaplain at Florida Hospital in Orlando.

In addition to O'Rourke's instructive and inspiring message Sabbath at Divine Worship titled, "The -isms That Separate," there were outstanding musical and dramatic presentations that celebrated the power and majesty of our Creator God and the freedom and liberty He offers all.  You can listen to audio of the entire service and watch video of the sermon in the "Resource" section of College Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church's new website.  The church bulletin can be found here.

Lorenzo Rolle and Andlaine Joseph were the soloists for Choral Union's presentation of Baba Yetu, a spirited
setting of the Lord's Prayer in Swahili.
