You’re invited to our very first service! Join us to hear the story of Palm Sunday as protest against injustice, learn new perspectives on how following Jesus can embolden us to advocate alongside our neighbors, and celebrate communion with new friends of all ages.
Today is Epiphany, celebrating wise leaders who recognized the divinity of Jesus and worshipped him instead of King Herod who wanted their unquestioning worship. May Christians in the US reflect on this lesson for our times, particularly on the five year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection.
