"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

From 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., there will be free opportunities for all ages and all abilities to engage in community service and fellowship, including creating pieces of community art, baking cookies to give to first responders and others, making sleeping mats out of plastic grocery bags for the unhoused, helping in the church’s Neighborly free clothing store, and more. The community is invited to stop in for a short while or for the entire day.
At noon, there will be a free soup lunch. Free coffee and hot chocolate will be served throughout the day.
A free Movement Rooted in Love Day concert will be held in the church’s sanctuary at 6:00 p.m., featuring speakers and musicians with messages to inspire hope.
