On Sunday, March 10th, we have the privilege of hearing from Rev. Dominique DuBois Gilliard, our denomination's Director of Racial Righteousness and Reconciliation, as he shares about the problem of mass incarceration and the call to Christians to promote restorative justice.
If you're interested in having a further conversation with our Prison Ministry Team (Straight Ahead Ministries) and Dominique after the service, we would love for you to join us for lunch and conversation! Just let us know you're coming so we can make sure and provide enough food.
