SERVICE & LEARNING WEEKEND
One of the ways we practice living out our faith and worship as a community is through connecting and partnering with service organizations in our local community, being guided by those working and living at the margins. Once a month, we use our gathering time on the weekend to spread out in smaller groups around the city to learn more about a particular justice issue or concern and to find ways to contribute to the work that is happening in our broader community.
