LYNN — Music, food and talk about race and health care inequality are on the agenda for Sunday’s St. Stephen’s Memorial Episcopal Church’s soul celebration.

The event is billed by church organizers as a day to celebrate our heritage as we renew our commitment to community action.  Kiame Mahaniah, Lynn Community Health Center’s chief medical officer, will be the keynote speaker.

Mahaniah, in a statement, said he will discuss the economic differences between communities that contribute to varying levels of health care quality.

“It’s up to us, individually and collectively, to fight the causes of those disparities,” he said.

Located at 74 South Common St., St. Stephen’s sponsors free summer and after-school programs and a weekly food pantry.

The church choir will join other musicians Sunday to entertain attendees with members of St. Stephen’s after school music program and Zumix, an East Boston-based program dedicated to building community through music and the arts.

There will be gospel and jazz, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and vegetable dishes served.

St. Stephen’s former ministerial assistant will preach at 10 a.m. and Mahaniah will round out the day by reminding participants justice does not roll down like waters.
