We want to take a moment as a church family to acknowledge the brokenness around us. Many have experienced the heaviness of a worldwide pandemic, the loss of a loved one, financial hardship and job loss, the weight of our nation’s racial tensions and a divisive political climate. We want to take those things to the Lord, and cry out together on behalf of our broken world.
