The Latest Sunday Devotional

What is the B-Hood?

A Community of Devotional Artists

The KUUMBA/B-hood Sunday Devotional was created and is delivered by a Community of Devotional Artists who gather to perform music and messages that minister to the soul. The Band of Devotion, WopDatBeDo Singers, and a stellar production team have encouraged a growing tribe of people – The B-hood – to harmonize our destinies with music and themes of Joy and Loving Kindness. The music is mostly composed by Rickie Byars and is very soulfully delivered by Georgia Anne Muldrow, Rob McDonald, Leslee McGee, Safiya Baidi, Raymond Johnson, Keith Rice, Rashid Lanie, Rickey Rouse and other talented singers and musicians. The B-hood Sunday Devotional, is more than a jam session in Praise of God, it is a sanctuary for loving support and spiritual fellowship. It’s ALWAYS good in the B-hood!

This is a Live gathering that also Live-streams on Sundays from 11:30 AM – 1:15 PM  Pacific time
