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 join together weekly and harmonize in music and themes of Joy and Loving Kindness. The music is mostly composed by Rickie Byars and is very soulfully delivered by vocalists and musicians. The great Ben Vereen calls the B-hood Sunday Devotional, “A Jam Session in Praise of God.” It’s always good in the B-hood!

Livestreams on Sunday from 10 AM -12 PM, PT.
