Our general chapel theme for the month is, “Public Church: Sticking with Love.” Together, we will reflect upon this theme in various ways seeking to build on the prophetic call to be a public church for the sake of the gospel. And we will do so, in part, leaning into the Dr. King’s words from his speech in August of 1967: “And | say to you, | have also decided to stick to love...hate is too great a burden to bear.” Amid chaos and hardship in our society, how might we as church stick to an ethic of love and embody a public witness that works for justice and peace in God’s world? Today join us in Hoversten chapel at 11:30 am as Rev. Justin Lind-Ayres, University Pastor, preaches on “Sticking with Love.” More information Show less
