Noah and His Sons 18 Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. 20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. 21 Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 25 Then he said:

“Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants

He shall be to his brethren.” 26 And he said:

“Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem,

And may Canaan be his servant. 27 May God enlarge Japheth,

And may he dwell in the tents of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.”

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty

years

RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 96: 1-9(NKJV)

LEADER: Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

CONG: Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

LEADER: For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

CONG: Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength.

ALL: Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.

Pass Me Not

Pass me not, O gentle Savior, Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.

Chorus:

Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

Let me at a throne of mercy Find a sweet relief

Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my un-belief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face, Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

Thou the Spring of all my comfort, More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heav’n but Thee?

When we celebrate Black History Month,

we recognize, honor and acknowledge

the contributions and achievements

of those who went before us.

Bessie Coleman (January 26, 1892 to April 30, 1926) was an American aviator and the first black woman to earn a pilot's license. In 1922, aviator Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to stage a public flight in America. Her high-flying skills always wowed her audience. Because flying schools in the United States denied her entry, she taught herself French and moved to France, earning her license from France's well-known Caudron Brother's School of Aviation in

just seven months. Coleman specialized in stunt flying and parachuting, earning a living barnstorming and performing aerial tricks. She remains a pioneer of women in the field of aviation.

Virginia Esther Hamilton (March 12, 1936 – February 19, 2002) was an African-American children's books author. She wrote 41 books, including M. C. Higgins, The Great (1974), for which she won the U.S. National Book Award in the category Children's Books and the Newbery Medal in 1975. For lifetime achievement Hamilton won the international Hans Christian Andersen Award for writing children's literature in 1992 and the Laura

Ingalls Wilder Award for her contributions to American children's literature in 1995.

Sir Derek Alton Walcott ( January 23, 1930 – March 17,2017) was a Saint Lucian poet and playwright. He received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature. Poet and playwright Derek Walcott was trained as a painter but turned to writing as a young man. He published his first poem in the local newspaper at the age of 14. Five years later, he borrowed $200 to print his first collection, 25 Poems, which he distributed on street corners. Walcott’s major breakthrough came with the collection In a

Green Night: Poems 1948-1960 (1962), a book which celebrates the Caribbean and its history as well as investigates the scars of colonialism and post-colonialism. Throughout a long and distinguished career, Walcott returned to those same themes of language, power, and place.
