| | A Message from Rev. Jessica | | | | |
Dear Beloved Community,
In the spring, we will be removing several of our older, much-loved posts that declare "Justice" is broken. These are on our lawn and are being removed due to age and wear. This decision was made with care, as we know these signs carry memories and meaning for many of us.
While the physical signs are coming down, the values they expressed — justice, and love — remain at the heart of who we are.
I welcome your thoughts, memories, and feedback as we move through this change together. Thank you for holding our shared spaces with such tenderness. - Rev. Jessica
