Juneteenth Sunday

We celebrate Juneteenth (Freedom Day) to commemorate the day when Major General Gordon Granger read the Emancipation Proclamation to slaves in Galveston, Texas, freeing them two and a half years after the proclamation was signed into law. In this virtual service, you'll hear from guest preacher, activist, writer and musician Andre Henry as he asks us to consider what it means to be an abolitionist today. Featuring music made famous by classic artists like Billie Holiday and Jimi Hendrix performed by our incredible NUUC musicians and musical guest Francoise Coulton.
