(Still) Learning to Tell a Story

(Still) Learning to Tell a Story

Author: Dr. Roger Ray August 27, 2023 Duration: 22:06

Today is my last sermon as co-pastor and so, this week, I've been looking back as a way of looking forward, thinking about and learning from the years we've spent together. I am grateful for all the ways that our community has helped transform the stories that dominate our society and to turn it around: offering kindness instead of condemnation, and justice instead of a tired resignation to the way things are. Our banners boldly remind us that we will not stand idly by, that we can make a difference, and that our own, very earthly voices can call one another to a more beautiful and just and altogether wonderful way of life. Thank you!
