Events and News
You are invited! Except for July, we gather together on 3rd Tuesdays at 11:45am. Our next assembly will be on Dec.10, 2024 at Judea Reform in Durham, NC. We will be learning about how congregations can help relieve the childcare crisis in Durham, and we will be having our holiday party. You are invited to bring a favorite dish or share about a favorite holiday tradition from your religion or your family! **Please no pork.**
Check out our (free) Election Week Liturgical Resources! Thank you to all who contributed! These resources are for congregations and people of faith who need prayer, song, training, reflection, meditation, etc. during this time in our nation. We welcome you to browse through these messages of unity, hope, challenge, change, love, and peace. (photo credit: Shelley Klammer)
