GRAB A DRINK. HEAD TO A HOUSE PARTY. JUST DON'T GO HOME.
TAKE ACTION
From the Pews to the Streets
In light of the tremendous amount of violence in communities worldwide, this year's Together Gathering will conclude with a lament and conversation about nonviolence. We will then gather again on October 10th and march alongside other community members (i.e. the NAACP) in downtown Akron as a public demonstration and message for nonviolence. We encourage you to join us as we honor the nonviolent Jesus together. Disagree with nonviolence? That's ok! Skip out on the march -- or join us in solidarity anyway -- either way, don't let a difference of opinion separate us.

THANK YOU SPONSORS
