Our reconciliation offering works to realize our vision as an anti-racist, pro-reconciliation *church. When the Pharisees confronted Jesus and told him to quiet his disciples, he said, “I tell you, if you were to keep silent the stones would cry out." "Silence is the absence of sound. To speak is to convey a feeling or opinion. This is not the time to be the absence of sound but to convey the injustice of those feeling the weight of racism and oppression. This the time to speak up and convey the truth of God’s love and equality for us all.”

Won’t you join the chorus in shouting out Hosana, Hosana blessed are we who come in the name of the Lord. Thank you for your generosity.
