February 19, 2023
Sunday, February 19 is Installation of Officers Sunday. All officers elected to serve this year are requested to be present and to sit in the center aisle so that they may be installed into the position to which they were elected.
Wednesday, February 22 is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten Season of the Christian Calendar Year. The liturgical calendar gives us a way of ordering our lives cyclically with an awareness of practicing our faith consistently. We begin with the birth of Christ coming as God's presence in our lives to save us from the destruction we cause ourselves (Advent). Secondly, there is the awakening that occurs with embracing the gift of God in Christ (Epiphany). Then comes the third season, Lent, reminding us of the discipline required to fulfill our destiny and direct our devotion. Ash Wednesday Service will be held at 7:00 pm. via zoom to prepare ourselves for the Lenten Season.
Sunday February 26 is the Black History Sunday School Program at 11:00 am via zoom.
Dr. William S. Epps, Senior Pastor

Congratulations to our own, Dr. Lauren Walton, who plays a role in this short film, which you can read more about below! |

"I AM NOT YOUR HERO is a timely film by Director, Kelley Kali, delivering an urgent message inspired by Black women physicians that need to be heard–now. This is a timely nonfiction short film that taps into an urgent narrative and national conversation about the expectations and roles of Black women in contemporary society.
The 30-minute short connects viewers to the lived experiences of Black women physicians and the heightened tribulations they experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic such as the twin perils of health inequities and systemic racism that plague America’s medical system. We will meet a cohort of first-generation BIPOC doctors who don’t come from privilege but rather worked their way up from historically underserved and under-resourced communities. Caregivers and frontline health workers, the women in the film are committed to upholding their oath of service, no matter what obstacles come their way.
We experience the commitment and compassion of Black doctors as told through the lens of Dr. Briana Young, a mother of two young daughters and an emergency physician. On the receiving end of myriad micro-aggressions and overt racism, at best she is mistaken for a nurse in the majority white, rural Illinois hospital where she works. Through Dr. Young and other expert voices, we learn about the high rates of depression, work-related trauma, suicidality, rising burnout, and fall-out these physicians work through."

"The Biden-Harris Administration launched a new nationwide Test to Treat initiative in March to give individuals an important way to quickly access free lifesaving treatment for COVID-19. Through this program, people are able to get tested and – if they are positive and treatments are appropriate for them – receive a prescription from a health care provider (either on-site or through telehealth), and have their prescription filled all at one location. These “One-Stop Test to Treat” sites are available at thousands of locations nationwide, including pharmacy-based clinics, federally-funded health centers, long-term care facilities, and community-based sites. In May, the program was expanded to include federally-supported Test to Treat sites. People can continue to be tested and treated by their own health care providers, health care clinics in their community, and telehealth providers who can appropriately prescribe the oral antivirals to locations where the medicines are distributed." |
