Worship this Week
The Power of Motherhood Belongs to All of Us
Traci Hughes
May 11, 2025, 10:30 AM—Mothers, particularly black and brown mothers, stand in the breach between survival and extinction. It is time that we embrace motherhood as the radical and revolutionary act that it is. It is an affirmative act of love to fight for the survival of the children to whom we are biologically tied and to those for whom we embrace by choice.
ASL interpretation is available in-person and online.
