June 15 Juneteenth Service
Our baptismal call asks this: "Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?”
We commemorate Juneteenth as an opportunity to continue to dismantle racism and white supremacy in the United States and around the world.
