Pastor Elijah McDavid is preaching to the congregation. The rows are nearly full with several dozen churchgoers.  Above the pulpit hangs three portraits of a Black Jesus and banners with each letter of the word — Rhythm — hang across the ceiling. They represent the traditions of its primarily African American congregation. At 30, McDavid may be young for a senior pastor, but he has deep roots in the Black church. Originally from Arlington, Virginia his grandfather was a pastor and civil rights leader in South Carolina for over 50 years — who battled segregation and helped integrate schools. McDavid grew up hearing how his grandfather helped transform his community and it continues to inspire him to this day.

Bomb-sniffing dogs are in short supply across the U.S. The pandemic led to global supply snarls — including a shortage of dogs that detect explosives. One big reason is that the U.S. gets the vast majority of its dogs from other countries. — Sam Stroozas, MPR News Did someone forward you this email?
