Yesterday, we had a unique service with themes of justice, liberation, and community. It combined scripture readings, powerful reflections from voices of resistance, and songs of hope and solidarity to invite attendees to reflect, act, and stand with the marginalized.

Liberator!

Let Joy be your companion! This Drag Gospel Service of Lessons and Laughter was filled with joy, gratitude, and cheer.

We put a unique twist on Tom Petty's "The Waiting" to capture the season's spirit of hope and anticipation. Special thanks to Sam, one of our talented students rocking the lead guitar! This Advent, let this be a reminder to hold hope in our hearts and keep the faith alive, even as we wait.
