“Dip Your Toes In” Speaking Up for Democracy in authentic, thinking, and active ways: Sunday, June 26th, directly after worship, in the sanctuary. Centennial is stepping more boldly into this time. We want to publicly show ourselves as a community following Jesus – speaking up for democracy in authentic, thinking, and active ways. You'll recognize this! We will ask ourselves: What did Jesus do in the face of abusive religious and civil authority? What have Christians done since then? What does he want us to do now? You are invited to a brief "dip your toe in" session next Sunday, July 26, directly after worship. We'll provide clues, a small snack -- and find out from you what days and times will work for you to participate in three public discipleship sessions this summer. We look forward to discussing further with you. Questions? Contact Constance Gruen | cgruen50@gmail.com or Amy Swalley | lundswalley@gmail.com.
