Next week we welcome Jesus with palm branches, but first, we pause here. Violence has revealed our brokenness yet again, this time in hate directed towards our AAPI friends and family. We grieve that. So today we pause to reflect, lament, repent, and focus ourselves towards creating a day that looks different than this one. To our Asian, Asian America, and Pacific Islander friends and family - we love you. We're with you. We give ourselves again and again to making a world where you don't have to be afraid.
