"A Place for All" Campaign

We have been at the corner of Hoyne & LeMoyne since 1879. The current building dates from 1906 and presents limitations to how the community can gather. We are embarking on a $1.4 million+ campaign to address these limitations.

This phase will better (1) welcome diversity with an elevator and ADA-accessible, gender-neutral bathrooms, (2) preserve and restore our historic architecture, and (3) enhance community spaces.

We’re well on our way to hitting the goal. and our support will ensure historic architecture and community engagement will continue for generations to come!

And you can feel it in the exhaustion so many people are carrying — especially those who already know what it means to be watched, questioned, targeted, or…

The Baptism of Our Lord

Today, as Jesus rises up from the Jordan River, as the heavens are opened and the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, we get our first look at Jesus as an adult in the Gospel of Matthew. Just the chapter before he was a child in Nazareth! The huge time jump in Matthew’s Gospel can feel abrupt, can make it seem at first glance like Jesus simply appeared one day at the Jordan River, fully-formed and ready to begin his ministry…
