1 Corinthians 10:12-13 New Living Translation
12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
Prayer
Almighty and ever living God, we humbly pray that, as your only-begotten Son was this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented to you with pure and clean hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Black History Month is an annual celebration in February that honors the achievements, contributions, and history of Black people in the United States and around the world. It is a time to recognize both the struggles and triumphs of Black individuals, as well as their pivotal role in shaping society.
The observance began in 1926 when historian Carter G. Woodson established “Negro History Week.” He chose the second week of February to honor the birthdays of two influential figures: President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass.
This year, we will celebrate Black History Month by highlighting Black inventors. This Sunday, we will focus on the life of Frederick McKinley Jones.
Frederick McKinley Jones
1893-1961
Before Frederick McKinley Jones developed the automatic refrigeration equipment used in long-haul trucks that transport perishables in the late 1940s, the only way to keep food cold en route to delivery destinations was by using ice. Thanks to his invention, grocery stores were able to buy and sell products from far distances without the risk of them spoiling during transport. Jones’ technology was also used to transport blood during World War II.
