2023-24 Faith-to-Action Nomination
Welcome to the church nurturing spirit and service – a liberal religious voice lighting a moral beacon in Central Missouri. In the spirit of courageous love, we forge a community of radical welcome and deep connection that moves us together to heal the world. We invite you to join us.
On May 28, 2023, the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, “The True Meaning of Honor” was the sermon title of the Rev. Dr. C.W. Dawson, Jr., our guest preacher. He said that as members of this society, we are encouraged to honor those who have died before us. And then he explored whether our honoring should stop there.
