It's pretty crazy that we have a big sign out front saying "Jesus Undied."  It is also pretty crazy that flowers bloom, that they are so beautiful, and that the sky is so wondrously blue.  
 
On Saturday night the Confirmation Class gathered for tacos and Statements of Faith. People talked about seeing Jesus in Tennessee, feeling community on Sunday, and seeing their lives change at NorthBay.  It is pretty crazy. But it is true. And it was beautiful.

"A World Uprooted: Responding to Migrants, Refugees and Displaced People"

Follow along with Mark, Ingrid, and our youth representatives as they learn about the issues and call on Congress to act humanely and responsibly in addressing the worlds uprooted peoples. Mark will be uploading photos to the Upper Room Facebook Group.

"We believe that God is with Dreamers, refugees, immigrants, outcasts and people struggling to overcome poverty. God calls us to offer hospitality to the immigrant and the sojourner, and to break down the dividing walls that separate us. Our faith teaches us the importance of keeping families together, welcoming newcomers with compassion and dignity and aiding our neighbors in need across the world."

Ingrid 

"We sing because it gives people joy. And someone could be having a really bad day, then they hear our voices in church and might feel a bit better and feel hope."

"Singing in church makes me feel calm and peaceful, no matter what may be going on in my busy and insane life."

The schedule through May is available online: HERE
