What Do We Do with the Painful Stuff?

Today’s Topic

Our past includes painful things as well as beauty. When we consider the gifts of our heritage, what do we do with the painful stuff? How do we hold and process the breaks in relationship, the harm, the cruelty, the trauma? On this Sunday before Indigenous People’s Day, join us for this worship service where we explore how to learn and heal from the past to repair the present and build a better future.

Parking: Our church has no parking lot. Jewish Family Services lot: JFS welcomes us to use their parking lot on Sundays. It is located 3 blocks west of the church, on Van Buren near Knapp St. Kingshead lot: On Sundays we can also use the gated parking lot on the corner of Van Buren and Knapp Streets.
