Worship
One Sunday a month Prairie puts its principles into action by providing service in our community. After a shortened service led by the Justice League, including Bill and Samera Baird speaking about their work addressing food insecurity in our community, we will break into smaller groups (please see details below) to discuss and take action as a group. These activities will address the spectrum of our individual comfort level while staying safe and still taking action. Activities will be appropriate for all of our members, families, and friends. We hope that you will join us!
