Join us for chapel this Thursday, February 15th, at 11 am.
For such a time as this… For such a time as has been before… how will you respond?
It’s our turn, it’s our time…” Do not be silent; there is no limit to the power that may be released through you.” -Howard Thurman.
Come continue the celebration of Black History Month with us this coming Thursday, February 15th. Pastor Ramelia Williams, a recent NPTS graduate will lead us in worship and share with us from Esther.
Pastor Ramelia is passionate about creating environments for stimulating racial reconciliation and inner healing through the Church. She lives this out as Lead Pastor of New Creation Covenant Church, a monoethnic church being replanted as a multicultural congregation. She was a preaching pastor at a multiracial church plant in Chicago over the past 5 years. In her previous work as a hospital chaplain in San Diego and Chicago, she offered short-term pastoral care to families experiencing death, trauma, and loss. This work prepared her for ministry development of a network of spirituality groups that focus on inner healing for women who have survived physical, sexual and emotional abuse. Pastor Ramelia earned a Master of Divinity and Certificate in Spiritual Direction from North Park Theological Seminary. At the Seminary, she is an adjunct professor and serves on a team of Spiritual Directors who facilitate spiritual formation groups for students.
We also would love to encourage everyone to think about and discuss different exercises and traditions of devotion as we enter into the season of Lent. We hope and pray that our corporate worship and gathering together can strengthen this time of repentance and confession for all of us.
As always, a community lunch will follow chapel!
