“Consider this a time when you’re able to just sit down and talk with a doctor about anything. We’re going to focus on the topic of holistic health in the African American community and why it’s so vitally important,” was the opening statement from Dr. Giavonne Rondo as she addressed participants of the second of three forums to be hosted by the African American Intercultural Congregational Support Ministry during Black History Month.
In a true celebration Black history, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s weekly worship service Wednesday reminded worshipers of the sorrows of the past and the joys of the future for African Americans. The service celebrated the gifts, skills and coping strategies of Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) as the theme for the month-long celebration “Resiliency to Recovery” was observed.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) will be holding a special online worship service at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Feb. 9 to commemorate and honor Black History Month.
