Our annual Black History Celebration retreat will be from 4 - 6 pm, on Sunday, February 16, followed by dinner. This time will allow participants to reflect on the roles of justice and contemplation in their lives as we hear from both speakers and musicians. 

This year’s celebration will focus on the life and legacy of Dr. James Lawson, a Civil Rights Activist and professor who passed away last year. Dr. Lawson was known for his leadership in the nonviolent resistance movements of the 1960s and his involvement in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He was also a pastor of Holman United Methodist Church in Los Angeles. We expect this to be a great time of learning and commemoration!
