What we know about Donald Trump’s Unprecedented Indictment 🚨🚔
Many years ago enslaved people gathered together to worship and receive the exhilarating news of emancipation during the very first Watch Night service on December 31, 1862, the team at Watch Night News seeks to convey vital information in key areas to educate and enlighten our community. A signed proclamation set our people free then. Our team believes that knowledge is power and that power is what will keep us free now. Each night is a new “Freedom’s Eve” as you allow yourself to be centered and informed in our virtual gathering place. Birds are singing, spring is springing, and we are grateful for your time and attention.
Thank you for being a part of our congregation. This is Watch Night News. ✊🏾
