    Sunday Sermon: August 17, “On Creation”

    Overpass Rally

    50501 is a nationwide anti-fascism movement. Here is an example of local folks hanging their banners on high. If you live near an overpass or parking garage, get some friends and make some banners. Find a place to hang them and let’s fight fascism!
