As work begins on the last phase of our capital project – the construction of a transitional housing opportunity on our very own campus – join us in September and October for a series of conversations on the church and affordable housing. What does it mean to seek the welfare of the places we now call home (Jeremiah 29:7)? What does it look like to treat our neighbors in need with dignity and respect as we engage in this vital work? How do we engage in constructive, local, collective action around affordable housing? 

The Sunday forums will take place in the Parish Hall from 9:15-10:15 a.m. A special presentation will also take place on Wednesday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. See below for more information.
