Who is My Neighbor?
Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • April 16, 2024
It is the season of Passover for our Jewish brothers and sisters, a time of spiritual renewal and a reminder of the enduring faith and resilience. It is a time to remember the struggles of the past and to reaffirm the values of freedom, justice, and compassion in the present. On Sunday we share beloved stories from the Jewish tradition. We will also welcome Dianne Kelley from the Congregation Beth-El Zedeck, who will share about her faith and service.
