“Resurrecting Hope” Rev. Dr. Stephanie May
In an era skeptical of miracles and even the possibility of real change, how might the ancient Christian story of Easter continue to revitalize our energy and hope today?
The Rev. Dr. Stephanie May preaching with music by the First Church Boston Choral under the direction of Gigi Mitchell-Velasco. The Rev. Hank Peirce will share a story for all ages and then invite kids 2nd grade and older to join him for more story and activities. Free childcare also available for younger children or children of all ages welcome to remain in the sanctuary.
