Community sing led by Sara
We are in troubling times. I know this is not news to you. We need all the things that help us make it through. For me, singing together in community is one of those things.
I will be leading five once a month evenings of community singing. Not to prepare for any performance. Simply to help ground us, steady us, keep up our courage, strengthen our resolve and keep us moving forward in love to face this moment. At the very least, to keep us from feeling immobilized, alone, or in despair. There is no time for despair. We are each other's light.
Dates: Mondays @ 6:30PM on JAN 26 • FEB 23 • MAR 23 • APR 27 • MAY 18. Upstairs in the sanctuary at Peace Church, 1111 N 11th Ave, Duluth. Any and all are welcome, there is no registration, just show up.
Free-will contributions welcome, but not required. Contribute online (https://sarathomsen.com/home) or at the event.

In the face of every shred, shard, tear of injustice—racial injustice and other intersecting forms of injustice—what do "seeds of repair" look like? How do you cultivate, empower, water, grow, one tiny seed of repair? From revitalizing language, culture, and hope to transforming systems, history, and minds; from amending soil to mending hearts; from restoration and healing hands to reparations and decolonizing land, what does the art—the heart, the soul, the seeds—of repair look like?
