HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

Until November 1, 2026, celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an exhibition that highlights Latinx and Hispanic artists in the DMV area. Hispanic Heritage Month adds the rich lineup of cultural events in D.C. This month honors the influence of Hispanic art, music, and cultural traditions. Hispanic culture spans Spain and over 20 Spanish-speaking nations, shaped by indigenous, European, and African heritages. U.S. Population: The U.S. Latino population has reached roughly 68 million, making up about 20% of the total U.S. population and driving more than half of the country’s population growth.

President Lyndon B. Johnson first introduced Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968. It grew into a month: President Ronald Reagan signed a law in 1988 to expand the one-week celebration into a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on unique voices and experiences of Hispanic/Latino Americans and recognize their history, journeys, and achievements through these celebrations. We can all help to inspire younger generations and bring communities together. National Museum of the American Latino. PEW Research Center.

UNITED WOMEN IN FAITH

Displaying her hands for service by the way she willingly gives. Demonstrating the heart of a lady by the way she daily lives. Seeking out women and children to provide for their basic needs. Supporting whatever the mission some of the first to take the lead. Strong, dedicated, and faithful to the work both far and near, answering the call in many ways the sole purpose of why she’s here. She stands beside the godly men of Clinton CUMC. Faithful follower, sister in Christ for whom the Son set free. Only the work done for the Lord will count in the very end. The way she’s given to the least of these. She shall truly be called a friend. No program, nor service, no earthly reward. No activity under the sun can compare to the words of the Almighty. Saying, all my daughters, “Well done.” Words by Kendra Neal, member of Clinton United Methodist Church in Clinton, Maryland.
