Article 7 Volume 13             Sunday, February 19, 2023

Today's Preacher: Reverend Alexander Williams, from Walker Memorial Baptist Church, Washington, DC

Rev Williams put emphasis on the fact that we have come a long way, as a Black race, in our quest to overcome the many obstacles that have hindered us along the way. Still, we need to seek divine guidance as we march forward and seek guidance in figuring out, "What do we do now?

Before I get into the sermon, I'm going to state that last week I shared some Black History News about a lady facing a locked gate.  That story will be completed on February 28, 2023, in a dedicated exclusive story on this blog site. Then on Friday, March 3, 2023, we are going to share with you the story of another one of our members, who was one of the children, cited through his mother, in a historic Supreme Court decision in 1975, regarding the desegregation of private schools in the USA.  The case originated in Baileys Crossroads, Virginia in the early seventies.

Next, in March 2023 we will feature a Black History story about a present/or former WBC member who recently put the high schools and colleges in the USA,  on alert about the perils involved in being prepared to provide medical care to injured players in sports and other activities.  

    

Now, let's go to today's service:

The Men Chorus sang. They sounded good 

Janice Somers presented some interesting information about Lewis Latimer, a Black man who did the draft work for Alexander Graham Bell's telephone invention; Bell received his patent in 1876.  In 1882, Latimer invented a carbon filament to use in light bulbs. His inventions included an evaporative air conditioner and an improved toilet system for railroad cars. 

Scripture: Micah 6: 8, He has shown you what is good. What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.

Text:  What is next after we have come a long way?

Sermon   " We have come a long way.  But we must keep on striving to make this country a better place. Along the way, we must love, show love to others, be kind, reach out, and call out to see how the called person or family is doing.

In talking with others, let them talk.  This practice is very important in reaching out to help others.

So, we must keep on going and doing good and what is right. Do not become weary, and keep on pressing on and trusting in God and He will lead us through whatever we confront."
