Rest As Resistance
February 15 · 9:00 AM · Sanctuary
As we work tirelessly for liberation and love, it is crucial that we also rest, and this is sometimes hard. We will celebrate the importance of keeping ourselves fresh for the long struggle and holy work before us. Worship is multigenerational and childcare will be provided. Music for this Unplugged and Connected service will be provided by Trailmix, featuring Jane Minasian, Bayard Klimasmith, and Matt Mayerchak.
