It’s always a delight to partner with local congregations and organizations to share in the joy of inclusive and accessible community gatherings.
Earlier this month, we joined Community United Church of Christ (CUCC) in Raleigh for worship. During this Lenten season, CUCC has focused on Creation Justice. Friends of L’Arche NC shared the scripture passage (John 9), and Tatum Tricarico, our Disability Theology & Justice Intern, preached a very moving and thoughtful sermon on Disability Justice. We are grateful for this opportunity to be in community again with this partner congregation to sing, pray, learn, and dance together. To view and listen to this worship service, including Tatum’s amazing sermon, click HERE and select March 19. It was just one year ago, that we joined with CUCC for a very fun event to celebrate Mr. Rogers’ birthday. It was an unforgettable community gathering as we made puppets, participated in hilarious improv skits, and enjoyed music and cake. Joy and love are always present at CUCC as soon as you enter their church.
Our Board Chair, Stuart Harrell, also shared about L’Arche NC, and the importance of celebrating the gifts of all people at Duke Memorial UMC in Durham this month. Duke Memorial UMC also continues to bless our organization by offering office space. We are grateful for the many ways they share their resources to help our growing community.
We’d love to partner with your congregation or organization in the future. Contact us today to learn more.
