What does it mean to be “woke”? How does one get woke, and stay woke? And what does that have to do with spirituality or religion. This morning, we’ll hear from some activists, and explore these and other questions for ourselves.
This is YOUTH SUNDAY! Rev. Karen will reach out to see if you’d prefer to meet via Zoom or in person.
Share the Plate
Our Share the Plate recipient this week is the Catfish River 4H Club, which includes four Reeb youth. The funds will be used to purchase trees to plant at Cam Rock County Park as part of an erosion control project. The more they raise the more trees they can plant!
