Friends,
This week begins our final week of Black History Month. We are excited to continue our celebrations and bring everything together that we have learnt over the month.
Last week Manuela encouraged us to listen to each other's stories as we share in the bread and wine at the Eucharistic Table. A reminder of the HERITAGE that was filled both of pain and joy. However, stories matter because they shape our identity and our future.
This Sunday, Victoria, our Music Director wants us to reflect through music on the lives of black composers and musicians. Therefore, throughout this week we will be looking at the lives and music of 5 black composers and musicians who have gifted us with new ways to reflect our History and the continued writings of our LEGACY.
Throughout the week, more information will be given about them on our notice board and social media platforms of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Check us out: @sjojchurch.
