Pointless Piety or Purposeful Practices?
SUMMER SCHEDULE: One service only at 10:00 AM
Today’s Topic:
With so much going on, from autocracy to the climate, an individual might be forgiven for losing faith in the value of taking action. What can one person do in the face of overwhelm? Fortunately, we have a say in how these times change us and our communities.
