Black History Month
2022 Resources
In addition to our previously published Black History Month resources, we wanted to give you an updated list of resources and opportunities for you to engage with not only this month, but all year long.
Black Theology Course
Highrock is one of our fellow Covenant churches and they are offering a free 6 week course over Zoom on Black Theology. Even if you cannot commit to the course, we want to encourage you to click the link below and check out the incredible free resources they have complied!
WHO IS SHE: EXPLORING THE BLACK WOMEN IN BLACK HISTORY
Women have always played an essential role in shaping history. But the accomplishments and stories of the Black woman are often ignored or erased. During this year's Black History Month we will explore the black woman through her struggle, strength, courage, and faith. We will explore how her intellect has pushed our society towards a more equal union. Be inspired by this exceptional collection of experiences as we discover the Black woman in Black History.
These free opportunities are being led by Pastor Dani Kilgore of Marin Covenant Church.
