Rev. Sunshine Wolfe — Choosing Each Other

Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.

Leader — Jacqueline Moore

Speaker — Rev. Sunshine Wolfe

Title — Choosing Each Other

Topic — What does it mean to prioritize relationship in a society so focused on other more material things?  How do we prioritize relationships as introverts, overwhelmed folks, neurodivergent folks, and more living in a world that can feel, at times, overwhelming?  We will explore the importance of being rooted in relationship as a path to peace, equity, valuing religious difference, and beyond.
