The Beacon – Our Fellowship Newsletter

Mutual aid is a practice centered around sharing resources and services with those around us. It’s the embodiment of “build a longer table, not a higher wall.” Join Katy Wagner for a look into how this model can help each of us build strong, thriving communities in spite of the imperfect world we live in, and envision a life where everyone has what they need.

Inclement weather caused us to have to cancel service on the 12th, so Rev. John Johnson will give his sermon this Sunday instead! Yay! — For centuries, the simple teachings of Jesus have been poisoned by the dogma that Christianity is the only true religion and only those who adhere to a certain set of beliefs will be “saved.” This, in part, helps us understand why so many former Christians have fled the Church and continue to do so. It also reveals the danger of the current white “Christian Nationalist” movement. How different history might have been if these prophetic figures could have sat down and had a meal and a conversation together! Rev. John Johnson will be our speaker. Join us!
