Healing the City
So often we attend church with people who are experts in their fields with interesting stories and we miss opportunities to know one another and how we spend our days. Join us as we dive into the lives of everyday people from The Village Church in Tucson, Arizona who willingly and openly share their lives. We will be breaking down big ideas through conversations to help one another wrestle with ways to engage our communities. We will talk frequently about race, disabilities, advocacy, and faith while also bringing in guests to share their various expertises and how they use their skills to ultimately engage and heal the city.
