Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It’s a powerful reminder of the long journey toward justice and the ongoing call for equality. As followers of Christ, we honor this day by reflecting on the God-given dignity of all people and committing ourselves to the work of reconciliation and freedom.

We also want to celebrate this day of liberation for our Black brothers and sisters with a party on the turf—join us after each service on June 22nd for food and festivities!
