In January and February, we will explore the book of Isaiah, full of beautiful poetry, prophesies, warnings, and visions of hope. Through study and conversation, we will think about how we respond to homelessness, community building, identity, and care of children and elders through the lens of scripture. Isaiah was written during a time of exile for Israel, and it walks us back and forth from accountability to hope as we think about who and whose we are in the world. Isaiah calls people to see the error of past ways while hoping and working for a better, more just future. Please join
