Fourth Church Music Travelers Depart
|
Last night forty members and friends of Fourth Church, led by Shannon Kershner and John Sherer, departed for South Africa, where they will be traveling until August 1.
As Shannon reflected in her sermon this past Sunday, the group is "going to meet God in South Africa, to make music with South Africans, and to learn from our Christian siblings there about the powerful ways the Spirit continues to inspire life and love and justice, truth-telling and efforts towards antiracism, healing, and reconciliation."
Please join us in keeping these travelers in prayer in the days ahead.
