"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness, a light has dawned."
Isaiah 9:2
During this time of Advent when the church watches and waits for the coming light of Christ in our world, we invite you to join Voices of Jubilee to learn about our ministry among those who are waiting in darkness in our system of mass incarceration and how we are finding Christ’s light in this work.
Please join us for a Zoom conversation, where co-pastors Rev. Lauren Ramseur and Rev. Ashley Diaz Mejias will share about their experience with this new worshipping community and how your church can join in this mission.
