“We Instead of Me”
Sundays, Fall 2023
“We Instead of Me”
Sundays, September 10 to November 29, 2023
*In-person & Livestream* (see schedule below)
Three church congregations invite you on a journey this fall to rediscover, “We Instead of Me.”:
- While “Me and Jesus” thinking guides many Christians today, Jesus focused on communal matters far more than personal ones.
- More than any other topic, Jesus spoke of an alternate reality: a changed community with new values of peace, love and justice.
Hear the parables of Jesus with new ears as we consider a universe of “We Instead of Me.”

Pastor Julie Thompson-Barrier
