We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Port Royal, the Nandtaughtacund, and we respect and honor with gratitude the land itself, the legacy of the ancestors, and the life of the Rappahannock Tribe. Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

Bible Study on the road to hear Cleo Coleman as Harriet Tubman

Bible study broke their usual routine and ventured to hear fellow member Cleo Coleman’s portrayal Harriet Tubman at the Juneteenth celebration in Fredericksburg. 6 were served lunch at Castiglias before the event and then on to Market Square. Cleo was delayed to perform at 2:30pm so Senator Tim Kaine could be there to hear Cleo’s performance. Cleo has been a member of that group for over 20 years.

There are two videos. The first one of 10 minutes is Cleo talking out of character about Tubman and her life. The second 28 minutes is Cleo in portrayal. That video is audio only with image overlays.

More photos from Sunday.

This occasional series will capture a key, yes the big picture, from a Sunday. So why this one ? We don’t always have this many servers! Secondly there is joy in the faces. Yes, it was posed but they were primed and ready to go. It was quick and expressions could be overlooked. Thirdly, these pictures lead elseshere on Sunday – the lighting of the candles, the Gospel reading and the sermon. Some of the key areas. These are the service leaders! They are ready for the procession and next things to happen.
