Demetasphere is an artist who is exploring the juxtaposition of the microcosm within a macrocosmic environment. She creates acrylic art that is influenced by her fascination with microbiology and the observable universe. She wants observers to get a glimpse into the microbial universe that exist in and all around us.

Thomas Murray works primarily in oil paint, with forays into sound, music composition, performance, and digital video. His work is deeply personal--gleaned from current political events, he works on the edge of recognition. Thomas appropriates archetypal imagery, such as the Garden of Eden to explore the relations of globalization and a subtle critique of the viewer/ consumer and our place in relocating histories.

It has been nearly a year since we began this journey of home ownership with Mindi. There are just a few more items to complete on her punch list.

Join us for our final build day on Saturday, June 25.

We're so grateful for the group of volunteers that have supporter this year-long effort; and we'd like to host a final build day before Mindi's house is ready for dedication.

This June 25 build is a limited team build day for

ten volunteers.

Justice Team Opportunity: Lead the Fines and Fees Initiative

This “gap ministry” is a grass-roots community initiative born out of a Justice Team community event, Fines, Fees and Felonies: Fight the Poverty to Prison Pipeline. A cadre of attorneys from Sacred Heart join The Justice Team and Love INC in this effort to raise awareness and remedy the impact of the debt-based driver’s license suspensions that are currently affecting two million Floridians. If you'd like to lead this effort, email Justin.

For more info on joining The Justice Team contact Amber.
