Xchange Sermons
The public is invited to join us for a truly inspirational event! From Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January through the end of March 2010, religious leaders from various faiths will leave their congregations and speak to the congregations of another faith--connecting dreams of a more unified community with a message to act on faith and make that imagined place a real one. Participating congregations are listed below on the left, and check the Upcoming Events listings below to see which congregations will be paired. See below also for photos, podcasts and more details on Xchange Sermons.
