Writer’s Church: Every Sunday is also a celebration of art as a tool of resistance. We have Writer’s Church, and we have poetry that honors the art and practice of sacred storytelling. During our Sunday Celebration Writers Church you can start writing all the things you are grateful for with one of our free journals and pens that we pass out every Sunday.
The 1st Sunday of the Month is Communion Sunday. Those who are interested should stop by Freedom Hall (downstairs) after the 9 and 11 am Celebrations.
