Freedom Church of the Poor Sunday Service
In the days after Easter the early Jesus community (followers of the way) were scattered and under constant threat from the violence and oppression of empire. They were also liberated. Liberated by the truth of what they were up against - a dehumanizing system of domination that hoarded wealth and sought to control God for their individual interests. And liberated by the vision of a God that left no one out, that promised abundant life for all. In this season of Days of Liberation we continue the fight to realize that world. We invite you to gather with your movement family for spiritual and political community every Sunday at 6pm and again on Wednesdays at 6pm for Biblical/textual reflection.

Days of Liberation (Season Description)
The story of Jesus’ death and resurrection is the story of the state execution of an insurrectionist, which ends in the triumph of God over the powers of death and destruction. This story of resurrection recalls the history of the Israelite people in the exodus and other passages of liberation and salvation. In the season of “The Days of Liberation”, we celebrate the many examples when the liberation of the oppressed has triumphed over forces of evil. This time celebrates the many ways that the poor today and throughout history have been victorious over the forces of oppression and death.
