In this message, Pastor T. C. talks about the themes of lament and formation for service in the midst of two epidemics: Covid-19 and Covid-1619 (the epidemic of anti-Black racism that has plagued the U.S. since the first slave ship arrived in 1619). The song for this week is “I Find it Hard to Say (Rebel)” by Lauryn Hill, from her “Unplugged” album. It was written after Amadou Diallo was killed by police in New York.
