Carolyn Bjerke and Ellen Deeb
Urgency tells us there is no time to rest. Despair tells us joy is frivolous. But both are powerful tools of harm.
This service explores resistance as the protection of what keeps us human: rest, joy, tenderness, and attention to our own limits. Drawing from spiritual traditions that insist we are more than what we produce or endure, we reflect on how exhaustion dulls our moral clarity—and how care restores it.

Parking is available on the street in front of the church. In addition, there are a limited number of parking spaces behind the church in the alley-way. A handicap accessible entrance with an electric lift is available on the east side of the building next to the side entrance.
