Lights for Liberty
On Friday evening, July 12th, from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM in Studebaker Hall, we will be joining our community and communities around the country to stand vigil with and for children and families who have been torn apart at our nation’s border, and to
remind ourselves that we can and must do better as a nation.
We will gather together for prayer, inspiration, and meditation. Come together to send a message of hope and love.
