UVC (Juan Pablo Herrera) 06-16-20 Joyful celebration is an act of worship

Jesus gets interrupted at a party, and has to move forward in a different way. In this time, as we are invited to a festival of justice to change the death dealing systems of white supremacy and policing that have taken so many Black lives, how can we receive interruptions with the same openness to the Holy Spirit, and move forward believing in God’s power, and our own need to act with it?
