A Black History Month Celebration of Sacred Sound
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The City Baptist Jubilee Choir Union invites you to our Monthly Union Session on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at 2:30 PM at Zion Chapel Baptist Church #1, located at 130 Walter Hills Road, Columbia, SC 29203.
February is recognized as Black History Month, which began in 1926 as Negro History Week. In honor of this sacred time, our Union Session will feature a special presentation highlighting the history, evolution, and rich traditions of African American sacred singing.
The ability of African Americans to worship freely has long been central to our faith and cultural identity. During slavery, the church emerged as a place of resistance, refuge, and hope. Through music—expressed in singing, clapping, dancing, and shouting—our ancestors testified, celebrated, and encountered God. These sacred sounds tell the story of both struggle and triumph and continue to shape Black worship today.
Join us as we travel through time, honoring the voices, songs, and expressions that shape our spiritual heritage. This event is open to the public, and everyone is welcome and experience the power of our history through song.
