In preparing for this Sunday, Dr. Ham writes, “I will be connecting Ruth and Naomi’s story with my own experience of moving across different countries, cultures, and communities, and slowly learning what it means to find my people. I will reflect on the sacred gift of being known without having to explain every part of yourself. Ruth and Naomi remind us that community is sometimes formed through shared vulnerability: choosing companionship, making room for difference, and discovering kinship in unexpected places.”
