A Vision of Hope. February 6, 2021

2021 brought some unexpected changes to our format. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we opted for a safer community and pre-recorded our event. We had no idea when we decided on our theme how much hope would evolve in the midst of our planning. To watch the pre-recorded event click here.
