Sermon | Hold Onto Your Hat!

Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before.
Sometimes faith doesn’t keep things comfortable. It calls us into courage, trust, and movement we didn’t see coming.
Coming to the free pulpit, guest proclaimer Carter Heyward draws from the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman to invite us into a faith that disrupts, leads, and liberates.
