Feasts & Fasts

Prayer leads us to serve.  Whether it's sheltering the homeless, or feeding the hungry, we continue to struggle with what it means to reach out to those in need with the practical love of Christ.

​An Experiment in Unity?

​Our community comes from just about every corner of the globe, and every strand of the Christian tradition.  We are a living experiment in the Unity which Christ promised his Church.
