“Prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right. It isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth.
It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God.”

Food: We need help coordinating meals! If you’re willing to plan a meal, please indicate on your registration form.
