In the two years we've worked here, this is the first time we haven't had an entry in The Work of the People. It's not that the people aren't working, it's just that the people are reeling. Given the venn diagram of this moment, working through the events of this week, the continuing trauma of the pandemic, and the excess work of the Christmas season, this space is going to be blank this week, and that's okay.

Go rest and feel your feelings. There will soon be all manner of debrief spaces, movie discussions, Sunday Schools, and book groups, but this week the land lies fallow.

If you have ideas or spaces you'd like to host in this season, please reach out.
