It was a bummer that vandalism prevented the Community Fridge from being a 24/7 resource for everyone who needs it for the past week. Well, we’re  happy to say that new parts arrived and the door is back on! Our big friend is back to chilling on the sidewalk again, ready to help anyone in need and anyone ready to share some love!💕
THIS FRIDAY FROM 6:30-8PM IN THE SANCTUARY

To say that activism takes energy is an understatement. It takes emotional energy, physical energy, mental energy, and even spiritual energy. To stay hopeful as you work against systems that dehumanize people is a challenge. So if you’ve been feeling your energy drain as you work for your neighbor to build a better world, we’ve put together an evening for you. Come and find rest for your body, mind, and soul so that you find the energy you need to keep going. This event is open to everyone of all spiritual backgrounds, so invite your friends, colleagues, and neighbors! (link in bio)
