Resting in Our Resistance - https://mailchi.mp/fpcberkeley/weekly-updates-5524806

With the George Floyd trial concluding and in the wake of Daunte Wright's killing last week, Minneapolis is on edge and has been for the last year. We mourn/grieve/process with our black siblings across the world and particularly, those in Minnesota. This Sunday's guest is Sarah Brouwer, the lead minister at St. Paul's United Church of Christ in St. Paul, Minnesota. Join us as Sarah shares her on-the-ground perspective and we explore what she discovered is crucial while lead...ing, loving, and learning through our shared struggle for healing justice. Join @therevhanpowell and Amos Disasa this Sunday at 4 pm for our next episode of This Is Crucial. We will be live on Facebook and YouTube. More info on www.this is crucial.com.
