Black History Month Special Events
February 8 – A return trip to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. We are taking reservations for the first forty people who contact the church office (658-5114). For reservations, we have three important dates:
1 – members who didn’t go last year – deadline January 12
2 – all members – deadline January 24
3 – everyone – deadline February 7
All who will be going must be at the church at 8:00 a.m. that morning. We will caravan to Washington in three rented passenger vans. The Museum opens at 10:00 a.m. and closes at 5:30 p.m., and we will return by early evening. As the Smithsonian is a national museum there is no charge for the tickets, and the church will be covering the cost for the vans. You need only bring either money for your meals, or a brown bag lunch and snacks for the ride.
February 16 –Soul Food Luncheon, immediately following Worship
February 23 - Gospel Vespers, 4:00 p.m.

Dear Friends,
We are sure that you have heard of the city's project called Nonviolent Wilmington - perhaps when we publicly announced the campaign on Sept. 28, 2019, during the sixth annual March for a Culture of Peace.
We’re inviting you to begin a new year of peacemaking on Saturday, January 18, here at Hanover, from 3:00 to 4:30 pm, when we’ll organize our campaign for Nonviolent Wilmington. We’ll also introduce you to Engaging Nonviolence, a brand-new study-action program that will actively engage us in the creative power and practice of nonviolence.
Participating in an Engaging Nonviolence workshop series will offer you the opportunity to:
-
learn how to respond to violence
-
find ways to live a more just and peaceful life
-
deepen your relationship with yourself and others
-
experience the power of nonviolent social change
At this meeting we'll also discuss additional ways that you can participate in creating Nonviolent Wilmington through the active practice of nonviolence. Please put January 18 on your calendar. More information will follow shortly; in the meantime, visit the Nonviolent Wilmington website.
 We’ve been preparing the way for Nonviolent Wilmington for several years through efforts such as the Movement for a Culture of Peace and Peace Week Delaware. Wilmington is one of nine cities where an active Nonviolent Cities program is under way. The burgeoning Nonviolent Cities movement is described in detail at the Pace e Bene website.
It’s time now for peace-loving folks to join together and begin a campaign for a new society—and a new culture of peace—in our city and state. We hope to see you on January 18. Can you think of a better way to honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?
Nonviolent Wilmington Steering Committee
Judy Butler, Alice Davis, June Eisley, Rev. Melissa Lemons,
Rev. Andy Jacob, Jeffrey Lott, Dorothy Medieros, LaVaida Owens-White
