Join us to celebrate the release of award-winning journalist, radio host, and political analyst Clay Cane's adult fiction debut, Burn Down Master's House, a brilliant work of provocative historical fiction. In the face of a political cycle that seeks to silence and erase, Burn Down Master's House is a rallying cry for the disenfranchised, a reminder of the power of defiance, and a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance. Cane will be in conversation with singer, songwriter, activist, and music executive Tedd Winn. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is requested, not required.

Date: February 8TH
Doors Open: 1PM
Starts: 2PM

We are grateful to welcome two Scout troops and two Scout packs from our community into worship. These groups regularly use our church campus as a meeting space, and we are honored to support their ongoing scouting journey.
