Beverly Smith I love the Good Friday image on your site. (nails, bible, "No greater love). I do the website for my school and would like to use the image on our school calendar or homepage.
Maureen Kennedy Thank you for all that you do. Also please thank your grantees and sponsors.
Gayle Davis-Culp Dear Team, In short, I am new and one of the pastors at a predominately white church. However, more persons of African descent have started to attend since I started here. one family would like to have their child dedicated. They have also requested that the liturgy be Afrocentric. I know I have seen and experienced such a service at Trinity UCC in Chicago. However, I have not found anything in writing. Could you/ would you help me!?
Amani, Michelle

Karen Iffert Good Morning, I want to know how I can become a writer this year. I would like to write articles. What are the topics and submission dates? Thank you!
Minister NaTasha Heath Could we get permission to use the image of the palm cross and pottery on this webpage for our Sunday bulletin? Your images are great. Thanks.
Milton Edwards I grew up in the deep south and attended a Baptist church. I am interested in getting copies of lined hymns that were used for devotion. Love the website.
Mary Paige Dr. M.P. Douroux gave seminars in the S.F./Oakland, CA Bay Area. She taught us, there was a grand finale' that Saturday evening. I attended some of them. I at one time worked with Mrs. Dorothy Cook on the Satellite Heritage Fdn, then I moved to East Texas. I am in need of slave hymns, spirituals and songs in general. Our youth today do not know anything about the traditional music of slaves. We do not sing enough of them. That is a shame. Do you have a song book, CD's or both. Thank you so much for your expediency given my lateness in asking.
Frances V. Calloway Please add me to your email list. Thank you for the site; it helps me all the time.
Rev. Lisa Goods-Williams I am pastor Joshua from Kenya, I have a conference in my church next year in Aug. And I welcome your team to come and teach.
Joshua Wekesa Good Evening. I am a 2nd year Divinity Candidate at Virginia University of Lynchburg. I have been licensed for 8 years and been in ministry going on 11 years (received calling December 2000). I would like to know how I can submit an article. Although, I am Apostolic (Pentecostal Assemblies of the World) by belief, I believe I have something to offer and I can share revelatory and scholarly articles to bless the entire Body of Christ. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon. The Master's Servant, Minister NaTasha S. Heath.
Minister NaTasha Heath I was so pleased to see that my solo-performance was included in your listing.. May God continue to Bless you and keep you safe, Happy Holidays.
