Special Guest, Rev. Susan Andrews Sunday, January 27th

GUN VIOLENCE is a crisis for public health. What is the church doing? What individual responses are possible? Please plan on attending. Older Youth and Adults might want to do a quick read of Jason Reynolds’ short book, LONG WAY DOWN, for insights. This is available at the St. Louis County public library, Amazon or your favorite book store.

There will be a light lunch and a lively discussion. Please sign up in the Gathering Space for planning purposes.
