SUMMARY:February BLUU Worship: "And We’ll Understand it Better By and By"
DESCRIPTION:Regarded as one of the founders of gospel music\, Rev. Charles Albert Tindley\, an African American Methodist minister composed the songs\, “The Storm is Passing Over” and “By and By” over 100 years ago\, and they continue to sing to us. How do we find wisdom and understanding from them in these times? How do we keep journeying toward a world of greater acceptance and affirmation? Perhaps Rev. Tindley’s journey can inspire us all. \nPlease Note: BLUU Worship is Black Sacred space\, created specifically for and by Black people. Other folks are encouraged to support BLUU by sharing information about worship with Black folks who would benefit from our spiritual community.

SUMMARY:Love Is the Work: Womanist Wisdom for Truth\, Care\, and Collective Becoming
DESCRIPTION:We gather to center womanism’s most radical teaching; love is not a feeling\, it is a practice. Rooted in Black women’s wisdom\, this service explores love as truth-telling\, boundary-setting\, accountability\, and care. Womanist love refuses self-erasure and demands wholeness\, dignity\, and mutual responsibility. Through reflection\, ritual\, and shared grounding\, we consider how love shows up in our relationships with ourselves\, our people\, and our communities—and how choosing love\, again and again\, becomes spiritual work and a pathway toward collective liberation. We leave reminded that love is not soft because it is weak; love is powerful because it is intentional.
