• Child Sex Trafficking in BC: Sunday at 2:00 pm, Level 2, Room 13 - Cathy Peters, Dr. Melanie Ryper

• In an age of increasing ideological polarization, uncontrolled dissemination of dangerously ignorant propaganda, and the proliferation of hate crimes, we desperately need to grow in expressing true Christian faith which teaches by word and deed that every human being is made in God’s image, and we need to be reminded of our Christian hope for a coming world of peace, shalom, and salam.
