Sunday, May 25: New Sprouts, Old Soil
with Dr. Melissa James
Times of transitions can be unsettling. They are also an opportunity to imagine and celebrate what may be sprouting up in the soil of community we’ve tended. What can we imagine may bloom as we enter into a shared ministry with a new minister?
