POT LUCK SUPPER Saturday, February 11, 2012
New Covenant United Methodist Church, a multi-cultural congregation will celebrate its ethnic and cultural diversity with a pot luck supper on Saturday, February 11, 2012 promptly at 6:00 p.m. The meal is open to all. The food you bring to be shared should reflect your own heritage. The theme for this year’s Black History Month is “Roots to Routes.” This special evening culminates with a visit by author, Christopher L. Webber.He will discuss James Pennington, a former slave who became a Yale scholar, congregational pastor, and international leader of the antebellum abolitionist movement in the early 1800's in the United States.
James Pennington is the subject of Mr. Webber's latest book (published July 15, 2011), "American to the Backbone". Mr. Webber's carefully researched book honors the life of an important figure in Black History, detailing how Mr. Pennington laid the foundation for the contemporary civil rights movement. You will be treated to special details about the months Mr. Pennington spent in Jamaica, his involvement in the Amistad story and his fight for equal rights a hundred years before Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Come to this pot luck and free talk. Bring a friend. All are welcome.
