Meeting For Worship Guest Speakers / August 19

Community, Fellowship, First Day, Worship

We are so excited to welcome Juana Tobar Ortega, who is in sanctuary at St. Barnabas Church, and Lori Fernald Khamala from American Friends Service Committee as our guest speakers during Meeting for Worship on August 19! Worship will be intentionally bilingual (Spanish/English) and Juana Ortega will speak to us via Skype, so Friends should prepare for worship that day to be a little unusual (but beautiful!).
