Sunday Service: “Showing Up” The Rev. Julianne Lepp

Cornel West said, “Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.” Sometimes the greatest action we can perform is showing up, giving our presence and voice to something we believe in. That isn’t just being present for events like marches, but showing up for the people that need us most in our lives and society.
