Jeannette Rankin was not only the first woman elected to Congress; she was also a committed pacifist who voted against US entry into both world wars, and displayed a remarkable resilience despite opposition to her position. This Sunday, we welcome Barbara Oberlander, Santa Fe College Professor Emerita of History, to our Fellowship’s pulpit. Sue Boone serves as worship associate, and James Chase reads our Story for All Ages. Jane Kozhevnikova provides music.
Live Stream
If you’re unable to attend, you may watch our live streaming service starting at 10:50 am this Sunday on our YouTube channel, where you may also find recordings of previous services.
