Faith-Full Resistors
Our Lenten journey this year centers on Lent as Resistance, drawing from the conviction that faith, rooted in Scripture and shaped by the life of Jesus, confronts injustice, tells the truth, and nurtures hope. One way of gathering during Lent will be our midweek study, Faith-Full Resistors, where we’ll engage stories of people throughout history whose faith compelled them to resist oppression, reflecting, praying, and discerning what love-shaped resistance looks like today.
