When the Stranger Calls: Stories of Courage and Home
Sept 26th, Saturday 6pm Free Community Meal, 7:30pm Worship
What does it mean to seek home, safety, and belonging when the place you call home no longer feels secure?
This September, The Gospel Project brings together theatre, dance, music, and preaching for a powerful evening exploring immigration, identity, family, and the courage it takes to build a life across borders.
The evening will feature
A staged reading of J.D. Rodriguez’s Zero Tolerancia, the story of an immigrant family confronting the terrifying possibility of separation while caring for their 14-year-old son, Danny. The play brings the human realities behind immigration policy into the intimacy of one family’s home.
Brown Baby, choreographed by Gabriel Mata in collaboration with the dancers, a vibrant work created on an all-Latino cast that draws upon family rituals, social gatherings, cultural memory, and everyday movement. It is a celebration of ownership, identity, and pride, an embodied assertion of what it means to move through the world in a brown body.
An original solo by Joshua David Estrada Romero, Founding Artistic Director of Fuse Dance Company, dance work.
Musical selections from In the Heights, bringing its celebration of community, heritage, and belonging into our worship.
A Homily from Rev. Dr. Sarah Halverson-Cano inviting us to consider what our faith asks of us when weencounter the stranger, the immigrant, and the neighbor searching for home.
Come at 6:00 for our FREE community meal, then stay for worship at 7:30. Please RSVP for this free event: https://forms.gle/EahBZ7dDriPpzZeY6
