Messiah Community Christian Church is well aware of the needs and did something to help. On Sunday, Nov. 20, Messiah held its "I am Somebody Special" serv ice, during which the church supplied clothes, hats, scarves, and shoes to the less fortunate. Senior pastor the Rev.

Russell Sr. Recreation Center from 7 to 9 p.m. Ahbaraham, an ISUPK officer in Winston-Salem, said that all Blacks, Hispanics and Native Indian people are welcome to attend as they seek to just spread what they believe to be "the truth." He says in their classes they tackle every question from issues of the past and those of today, such as child support, the high number of black men in prison and the gentrification of urban neighborhoods in major cities all across the country. The ISUPK teaches that Blacks, Hispanics and Native Indians are the true Jews of the Bible. ISUPK teachers also believe that according to the Bible, Jesus Christ is a black man, not olive or a man of all colors. Ahbaraham says, " Every Black, Hispanic and Native Indian should know there is color in the Bible, there is hate in the Bible, there is prejudice in the Bible, and these prej udices are for one specific people, they are not for every body. The Bible wasn't written for everybody." The history of ISUPK goes back to the freedom of the slaves in the United States. After the emancipation of the slaves, slaves began reading the very book they had been kept from reading for so long, which was the Bible. While learning the truth of the Scriptures, they also migrated north, forming synagogues to learn the Bible. These ex-slaves passed the "truth" on to some in Harlem, N.Y. As their brothers started spreading their message in Harlem, Ahba Bivens was one of the brothers that came up through their ranks. Bivens, who started a school in Harlem, was murdered for his beliefs. Three brothers who followed him started a new school and See Jews on Bfi The Affirmation of a Promise Lesson Scripture: Luke 1:39-56 By the end of this les son, we will ?Observe God's miraculous workings in the lives of Elizabeth and Mary ?Recognize the importance of details in our lives and our walk with the Lord ?Be aware of the need for looking for God at work in our daily experiences Background: The time given for this writing is 7-6 B.C. and the place is in the hill country of Judea. It is like ly that Mary was a pious and devout student of the Scriptures since her prayer is often compared to Hannah's prayer to God concerning Samuel (1 Samuel 2:1 10). Note that Elizabeth and Mary are kinsmen, which makes Jesus and John the Baptist relatives as well ... cousins per haps. Lesson: Our lesson starts with a hurried trip I by Mary into a city of Judea where Elizabeth and Zacharias live. This visit is viewed as proof of sorts of Mary's fully embracing the message from Gabriel (verse 39). Mary's greeting of Elizabeth was also the first meeting of Jesus and John the Baptist. The Holy Ghost fills Elizabeth and she is imme diately aware that Jesus is present in Mary's womb. See Lomi on B6 I Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson
