The Power of Story: The Many Faces of Courage


Service Description:

Stories help us to step into the shoes of others who have walked, stumbled, and danced down the path of life. We both learn from them and relish our common humanity. During this service, Elisa will share stories about the finding of courage from different perspectives, hoping they will inspire stories from the congregation.
