Standing in the Tragic Gap

Pastors Claudia and Glenn and PCRC members led a service of communal acknowledgement. This was a space to express, talk about, and own the pain, loss, and disappointment that has been part of the fabric of our lives over the past few months. The tone is similar to a typical Good Friday service.
