Black History Month at The Gregory School! Online
Learning to Be...Cycle Breakers!
"We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationship with ourselves..." In her bestselling book, Learning to Be: Finding Your Center After the Bottom Falls Out, Pastor Juanita Campbell Rasmus, Co-Pastor of St. John's United Methodist Church assumes the role of advocate and shows us a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in our lives. In First in the Family: Biblical Truths for Cycle Breakers, Dr. Felicia L. Harris invites us to unburden ourselves of the weight of family ideals, influences and imperfection, even if we're the first to do so. Join us as these two dynamic authors share tools and tips for living our most expansive and abundant lives!

It's Black History Month! "Negro History Week", the brainchild of historian and scholar Dr. Carter G. Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950), was first observed February 7, 1926. The son of enslaved parents, Woodson would matriculate at Berea College, University of Chicago, become the second African American to earn a PhD from Harvard University (WEB DuBois was the first), and have a prolific career at Howard University. In February 1969, students and educators at Kent State University proposed the first Black History Month and celebrated it in February 1970. Join us each week as we continue this time-honored tradition and celebrate Dr. Woodson's vision with an exploration of "Black Health and Wellness", our theme for Black History Month 2022!
