🙌🏾 Basta Ya!
(enough already)
Basta ya, God is saying to us in this moment! It’s time for a revival-and not some typical church revival, we need a pentacost people power revival!

Today is Palm Sunday.
What does it mean this Sunday? Under the tentacles of authoritarianism?
It means the same thing as when it started. Because for Jesus this day was a protest, not a parade.

You are invited to walk the sacred journey of Holy Week with us—
from the palms of protest
to the quiet of the upper room,
from the shadow of the cross
to the joy of resurrection morning.
Each service is a stop on the path from heartbreak to hope.
Come as you are, and find yourself in the story.

What might it mean to embrace difference as a gift rather than a threat.
Join us as we continue our reading of Tyler Mayfield’s book, Father Abraham’s Many Children. We’ll only be on Chapter 2 on Feb 2 so there’s still time to jump in!
Sundays @ 9:15am
P.S. We have a few extra books.
