Join us on for our Black History Month worship service on Monday, Feb. 5th at 11:15 a.m. where Shemiah K. Curry will be preaching. Shemiah is a 3rd year MDiv, Word and Sacrament candidate at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago, Illinois will be preaching. In 2016 Shemiah earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a minor in Sociology from Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina. In her final year at Bennett, she served as the Student Body President where she cultivated relationships among students and faculty to help advance the institution’s retention. After graduating, Shemiah began her career as an Elementary teacher and served as Co-Ministry Coordinator for Ministerial Formation at Faith Point Fellowship. Currently, Shemiah volunteers with the Youth and Young Adult ministry at her home congregation, Shekinah Chapel.  

Shemiah has successfully attained two highly sought-out internships with former President Barack Obama; one as a 2014 White House intern and the second as a 2019 Obama Foundation Fellow which have both helped amplify her leadership skills. Shemiah has been featured in JET Magazine, Greensboro News & Record, Chicago Sun-Times, and Bennett College’s Belle Ringer.

Shemiah is the sister of Ashirah and Shekinah Curry, and the daughter of Bishop Yehiel Curry and First Lady Lashonda Hicks-Curry, an influential minister and instructional leader. 

As we celebrate Black History Month, we are honored to have Shemiah Curry share the preached word with the LSTC community.
