“As our selected reading from John suggests, Christians are called to “come and see”. In the same way that the disciples followed Jesus and shared with him for hours (John 1:39) we will follow the legacy of MLK and connect with his current reverberations. I am excited to learn and grow with you Sunday the 15th both as a community member and as someone committed to the Movement for Black Lives."

Our apologies that the first part of the gospel was not recorded.
