In the midst of doing hard things, hard times can come and come heavy. God often works through surprising communities of care in those circumstances and speaks in, through, and around the sound and fury of other, even demonic, voices. Here is the prayer written by Rev.

In Sunday’s sermon, I read the comments of Waynel Mayes, a teacher at a Moore, OK, elementary school and niece of Union Church members Al and Alice White.
