Dear Ones -
We had almost 250 people gather this week to hear Texas State Representatives Ann Johnson and James Talarico. Ann asked James questions about his involvement in and perspective on some of the critical issues facing citizens of Texas as far as these legislators are concerned. There is, of course, no text of their conversation. If you missed it or want to revisit it, you can do so by clicking the link below to watch the video.
I am SO grateful to Dr. Jeff McDonald, for arranging this event. The content they presented was not only informative but also very encouraging.
The Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis will be with us this coming Sunday. Though she is giving the sermon at both services and dialoguing with me during get Ordinary Life hour, the time she will spend with us during the afternoon will be more intense and interactive. I have heard her speak before and can tell you from personal experience that being with her “up close and personal” is quite an experience. During these fraught times, her teachings will be most relevant. If you have not yet registered for this time, I encourage you to do so now. You may do so by going to the home page of this site. Child care provided during all of the times she will be with us.
