Local churches celebrate Race Relations Sunday
PECOS, February 16, 2001 - Several area churches celebrated the second
Sunday of the month, a date set aside by the Ethics and Religious Liberty
Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention with a special service.
The second Sunday of February is a date that is set aside by the Ethics
and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention to
address the problems of racial prejudice and injustice.
The alarming increase in racial tensions in America and elsewhere in
the world points to the need for improved race relations on a global scale.
The individuality and unity of humanity originated from the fact that all
people are made in the image of God. These truths should therefore govern
how people relate to each other. It also requires that people relate to
all others with respect and dignity because it is right.
Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida, House of Prayer Baptist Church, First
Assembly of God and Mt. Zion decided to make time to celebrate this important
day together. Close to one 150 persons united at Iglesia Bautista Nueva
Vida (New Life Baptist Church) to worship Racial Day Sunday.
The Reverend Paul Garcia and Reverend Matt Williamson lead the congregation
in praising God by singing bilingual hymns together.
Fourth grader, Victoria Montoya and Mrs. Eva Garcia played a piano
duet. Then Reverend James Henderson preached a sermon entitled, "My Brother's
Keeper." After the service, the attendees fellowshipped in a potluck luncheon.
