Thank You!
On Saturday, November 4, 2023, we held out most successful fundraiser to date with the largest audience. We thank all who attended and the musicians for the outstanding concert, as well as the army of volunteers from multiple congregations who made it all happen.

The Latest
"The trouble around difference is really about privilege & power - the existence of privilege & the lopsided distribution of power that keeps it going. The trouble is rooted in a legacy that we all inherited, and WHILE WE'RE HERE IT BELONGS TO US. It isn't our fault. It wasn't caused by something we did or didn't do. But now that it's ours, it's up to us to decide how we're going to deal with it before we collectively pass it along to the generations that will follow ours."
Allan Johnson, Privilege, Power, and Difference
