Black History Spotlight

Charles Richard Patterson and sons were the first and only black automobile company in history.

Born enslaved in virginia in 1833, c.r. Patterson escaped, traveling over the allegheny mountains, through west virginia and across the ohio river. He settled in greenfield, ohio, a station on the underground railroad.

Patterson learned blacksmithing skills and went to work for a carriage-making business. In 1873, he formed a business partnership with another local carriage manufacturer, j.p. Lowe. For the next 20 years, the duo ran a successful business making expertly crafted horse-drawn carriages.

In 1893, patterson bought out lowe and became the sole proprietor and renamed the company c.r. Patterson & sons. When he died in 1910, his son frederick took over the business. Frederick was already a pioneer, becoming the first black man to play football for ohio state university. Frederick knew that automobiles were the future. C.r. Patterson & sons produced its first car in 1915. Known as the patterson-greenfield automobile, it sold for $850. The patterson-greenfield model was comparable to the ford model t, even though the ohio company couldn’t match ford’s manufacturing capabilities.

In the 1920s, after producing approximately 150 cars, patterson & sons switched to the production of trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles. Hit hard by jim crow and then the great depression in 1932, the company began to spiral downward. It closed in 1939. There are no known patterson-greenfield automobiles in existence today, but several c.r. Patterson & sons company carriages have survived. The national museum of african american history & culture states that patterson & sons remains the only black-owned automobile company in united states history.

In honor of the super bowl. Frederick douglass "fritz" pollard (january 27, 1894 – may 11, 1986) was an american professional football player and coach. In 1921, he became the first african-american head coach in the national football league (nfl). Pollard and bobby marshall were the first two african-american players in the nfl in 1920. Football pioneer walter camp called pollard "one of the greatest runners these eyes have ever seen."

Offering Confession of Faith

According to: Deuteronomy 8:28 / 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 / Luke 6:38 / Hebrews 1:14

Shout unto to God it is time to give! We are workers together with Him!

I will remember the Lord my God, for it is He who gives me power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant in the earth.

This is why I am a cheerful giver and it is given to me to the point of overflowing! Because I invest bountifully I receive bountifully and I have abundance to give for every good work!

So Father, according to Your Word this is my investment in the kingdom of God, therefore angels go now and bring in my return on my investment .

Increase, promotions, wealth and riches for I call those that be not as though they were, therefore I call myself a millionaire! I am a millionaire for this is my confession of faith.

In Jesus’ Name – Amen

Casting Your Bread!

According to: Ecclesiastes 11:1

Give, it will be given to you, press down and shaken together.

Believe and know the Word is true, with your faith God will be pleased.

Just know that when you cast your seed it will spring up on every hill.

So get ready, get ready, release your faith and with gladness prepare to give.

Casting your bread on the water, casting your bread on the water.

And in many days, on every wave it will overtake you!
