Reconciliation Resources
We can all agree that things in our world are not as they should be. Heartache and brokenness capture the evening news with images of protest and violence. As followers of Jesus, how can we respond? We can learn, pray, and serve. Today we share some resources to help us LEARN. We encourage you to pick one or two to start with and commit to learning something new about this tender topic.
