Next Steps: Raising the Roof

What does it mean to “raise the roof?” Not with noise, but with vision? There are moments in the life of a church when maintaining is no longer enough; when the spirit calls us to take the next steps toward growth, courage, and shared leadership.

There is a quiet spiritual practice at the heart of every healthy congregation: paying attention. In a world full of noise, attention is an act of care. When we slow down enough to truly notice, we see the person who is new and unsure, the long-time member carrying quiet responsibility, the child asking big questions, the neighbor searching for meaning.

Anti-Racism

Racism has a long history in our society, and is still having major consequences despite years of effort to combat it. We must continue to work together to dismantle the systems that perpetuate injustice and inequity.
