On #Juneteenth, we recognize our nation's history of racism and inequity, reflect on the effects of that history on our systems and institutions, rededicate ourselves to the work of anti-racism, & celebrate the incredible contributions of Black Americans throughout U.S. history.
And so we scatter. We go together across our synod, across this church, to accompany our siblings in the world. And in word and deed, we do it in Jesus' name. #demdsa23
In water and word, in bread and cup, we gather and go again in the promise that overwhelms our fears. We go trusting in the promise that the one who calls us by name is faithful. #demdsa23
