BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Here are a few things to read, watch, and do with your kids or family to celebrate and learn together about our black sisters and brothers!
We hope these ideas can elevate black voices, help us listen and learn from the black community, facilitate conversations, support people of color, and lead to unity and change in our world.
BIBLE APP READING PLANS
We are continuing to try to listen to and learn from our sisters and brothers of color. One of the ways we can do that during this month celebrating black history is to read from Black leaders and pastors. The Bible App that we mentioned earlier has many Bible reading plans to help us read the Scriptures. They are also highlighting several reading plans from black pastors & authors to elevate their voices to help those of us who are not black to hear from their perspective. Head to the link on the screen or in the comments to learn more.
