Join us in chapel today, Thursday, December 5th, for a worship service of lament, acknowledgment, confession, and call. 2019 marks 400 years since 1619, the year that witnessed the forced arrival of the first enslaved Africans. Your voice and prayer are essential as we seek healing for wounds that sin has caused.
