Your Giving Makes Ministry Possible
As we approach the end of our fiscal year on August 31, we are still $128,000 short of our annual giving goal. Your financial generosity helps turn our vision into reality, supporting our ministries, our community, and our local and international partnerships. Please give generously as we close out the year together.

Sunday Morning Book Study: Sundays at 8:45 a.m., in room 203
This group will meet most Sundays, currently discussing Love Thy Stranger, by New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman.

Everybody welcome!

Summer “Book” Club: The 1619 Project
The Criminal Justice Reform Team invites you to participate in a summer “book” club exploring The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story. This anthology of essays and poetry reframes American history by placing slavery and its enduring legacy at the center of the American story, inviting readers to consider how that history continues to shape American society today. While this work is not directly tied to issues of criminal justice, the CJRT picked this as a fantastic resource for learning and discussion.

There are multiple ways to engage with the material. You can read the book, listen to the audiobook or podcast (available on all major podcast platforms), or watch the related Hulu series. You are welcome to engage with any of these formats, to whatever extent you desire. Work through the material at your own pace during the summer and join us for a discussion and fellowship gathering planned for late August (details forthcoming).
