Liberation, prophetic worship, and communal faith

Love has kept our people alive. Patient love waited on the Lord through slavery's centuries. Kind love fed neighbors from nothing. Love that doesn't seek its own shared the little we had. This is survival love, community love.

Love is not optional; it's survival
Community love keeps us alive
