Lead-up #3 to Christmas in July: Angels We Have Heard on High

90556922_10222365105820235_1953798709057683456_nThis is #3 in lead-up to the Christmas in July Zoom, the famous Christmas carol, “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Actually, the term, “carol,” is quite specific in that carols combine a venacular language (in this case English) and Latin (the familiar “Glorida.”)

These recordings were all made at the Bayshore Baptist Church in Tampa, FL, back in 1993. Click on the following link to listen via free, no-download listening: https://soundcloud.com/hilton-kean-jones/01-angels-we-have-heard-on.

Weekly Anti-Racism Demonstration

This Sunday 18 people gathered to make a witness to anti-racism along 54th Avenue South in front of the church. Along with people from LUCC, there were people from the Social Justice Committee at Westminster Suncoast and folks from the St. Petersburg Quaker Meeting.

 With so many participants, there can now be some people  on each side of 54th so that the message is shared with cars going east and west.  

There were several new signs made by Ruth Pettis honoring John Lewis.  

All are welcome Sunday evenings from 7:30-8:00 p.m. at the church.  Know justice, know peace!
