This invitation is shared with you by the Do Justice Ministry. CUCC members were connected to Rev. Chavis during the Wilmington 10 events while Rev. Chavis was on assignment from the UCC (1971). He also co-led the civil rights work in Warren County, NC, around toxic dumping on a small African American community (1982) - the beginnings of what is now the environmental justice movement. (He coined the term "environmental racism.")
As we salute the contributions of Black men and women that benefit our world, we invite all to join us for a special day that includes spiritual food that will nourish your soul and delectable "soul food" to nourish your body. On Sunday, February 16th at 11:00 a.m. the illustrious Rev. Benjamin Franklin Chavis, Jr. (D.Min.) will be our guest preacher! Formerly a well-known UCC leader who is now returned to our union, still a renowned human rights justice defender, Rev. Chavis frequently speaks out about local, nationwide and international issues. Following morning worship, we will enjoy a free feast of great home-cooked dishes and good fellowship! Don't miss this! Mount Calvary UCC is located at 1715 Athens Avenue in Durham, NC 27707. Rev. Raymond S. Watkins is our Senior Pastor.
Here is a flyer for the event - no registration is required.
