In the days since we learned about the passing of our beloved friend and co-founder, the Rev. Cecil Williams, we have been comforted by warm wishes from around the world.
Thank you to everyone who has joined us in the sanctuary and shared words of support online!
As we continue with our important work feeding, supporting recovery, advocating for justice and stirring the souls of the community, we have also been caring for all who are grieving and seeking community with the GLIDE family.
