Practicing Resistance
Speaker: Rev. Liz Weber
Let’s close out January’s theme of Practicing Resistance by looking at some of the ways we can actively practice resistance in these times. What is implied by the idea that resistance is a “practice?” And what are some things we can actually do to resist?

Our Mission and Covenant (unison)           Carol
We are a church of reason and spirit,
that witnesses for progressive faith,
nurtures our community and transforms our world.

Love is the spirit of this church, and service is its law.
This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace,
to seek the truth in love, and to help one another.
