January 24. Community Worship: “Imagine if We Were Willing and Strong

Community Worship this month has explored the power of our imagination for healing, working together and for making our dreams come true.  What might happen if we imagine ourselves in the coming days as both willing and strong? Where can we find support and sustenance as we take up the work before us? Come and explore these questions and more with Rev. Leia Durland-Jones.
