The cross was meant to silence. To break. To end. But we know that love doesn’t die that easily.
On this Good Friday, we gather to bear witness to suffering—the suffering of Jesus, the suffering of our world, and the ways empire still tries to crush truth. Through music, storytelling, and deep reflection, we hold space for grief and look toward what’s coming.
We sit in the sorrow—but we do not sit alone.
Love God. Love Neighbor. Love Self. Love. Period.
We are back home:

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
