Alternative Christmas Market. Sunday November 23rd and December 7th from 12-1:30pm. The ACM is a special holiday themed social event where guests can learn about organizations serving youth, LGBTQ issues, anti-gun violence, food insecurity, water purification, and our partners in Cuba and South Dakota, etc. and purchase greeting cards to give to loved ones with the money (in $5 increments) going to support the organizations that you choose. These events take place after our normal 10:30 worship service – and everyone is welcome to attend that too. Help us promote this alternative to buying more stuff from Amazon that we do not need and help those who desperately need.
The Alternative Seminary
I am excited to announce a new offering: Rev. Naomi Washington-Leapheart will be leading a three-week course exploring the central role of Christianity in fostering the rise in authoritarianism in the United States — and how we can respond.
Details are below. I hope many of you can make it for this urgent time of reflection and challenge. And please pass the word to others.
Peace, hope, courage,
Will O’Brien
