50 years ago on September 1, 1974 my sister and I threw my parents James & Angie White a surprise 25th anniversary party in the basement of our childhood home and we witnessed the love they had for each other. Four years later my father passed on Flag Day and was funeralized on Father's Day. The day's meaning has taken on a different significance ever since. As we celebrate Father's Day today, I remember their bond of togetherness and love and their commitment to one another and the generational standard they set for me and my wife's 43 year union and my son and wife's 15 year marriage. Happy Father's Day to everyone and much love to all those whose faithfulness and devotion has stood the test of time.

From its beginning as the Cook Avenue Methodist church to its christening as the Scruggs Memorial C.M.E. Church in 1925, its members recognized the significance of having a place for African American worship in an historic landmark that's now well over 140 years old. Now for over 95+ years, the congregation still manages to persevere in spite of and in the face of past and current challenges in the midst of the Covid 19 era.

The 12 members and leaders of the Christian Methodist Episcopal church that marched from Lane Tabernacle to Scruggs in July 1925 came with a mission to make its presence known and felt in a location burgeoning with potential. The result created a community staple, which produced one of the 1st African American fire captains(Joe Hughes)and 1st African American police women sergeants(Agnes Wallace)in the city of St. Louis, 2 CME bishops, including the current senior bishop LL Reddick, and a host of teachers, nurses, lawyers, social workers and other professionals that served the neighborhood, the regional area, and society well beyond its walls.

These are the men and women of Scruggs, who love not only being able to call the building their own, but the community too.

So to the many people, clergy and laity alike, who have been thru these doors and made Scruggs what it has been and will be, we salute you and thank you. 95 years strong. Watch our virtual steaming on Facebook on our pastor John H. Smith, Jr.'s page each Sunday at 10:30am.
