MAY
MINISTRY THEME: RESILIENCE
May 3: "Are We Woke Yet?"
Worship Leader: Rev. Verdis LeVar Robinson
Liturgist:
In the movie Mary Poppins, the iconic scene and song, where Mary Poppins uses reverse psychology to convince the children to fall asleep, has now taken on another meaning. With the rise in resistance against fascism and authoritarianism, what message of resilience can we glean from the song, “Stay Awake, Don’t Fall Asleep?” What other songs are raising us out of apathy?
