Please register at the following link: forms.gle/ba2hcNmHYXQVtsYD7 or by contacting Pastor Nola who will get you registered. Our speaker is the Rev. Katie Bryant.

A founding board member of City with Dwellings, she has led winter overflow shelters for the city since 2014, including the Family Shelter with which we are familiar here! Pastor Katie describes her calling as "to constantly challenge the church to see how God is calling them to be in community with their neighbors." We look forward to our time of fellowship, worship, learning, and service as sisters in Christ!
