Our wonderful neighbor Skip Li had a vision to create an experience here in Seattle as a follow up to our October 2022 trip to Montgomery when we visited the Legacy Museum and the Memorial for Peace and Justice. For two days this weekend, we visited four incredible organizations and we got to hear stories from some of Skip's friends who are doing amazing work in their efforts to bring more peace and justice to this city. The ministries we were introduced to all work to bring dignity, belonging, and flourishing to the people they are called to serve, and it was exciting getting to be with neighbors to imagine more of what God's invitation is for us in response to these stories individually and collectively. What a gift this time was together!
