We pause to remember the legendary life and illuminating legacy of The Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson Sr., affectionately known as the Co-Pastor of Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church.

May we hold to the truth Reverend Jackson once proclaimed, “Hold your head high, stick your chest out. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive.”

Please join us in praying for The Jackson Family.
